I was debating between a shed and a 4-post lift for the last 3 years. Finally, I decided to go with a lift since I can store my lawn equipment on the lift and park my car underneath it in the winter. I can also use it for my car maintenance. Additional, it can be my loading dock since I bought casters. So I can move the lift around. I am no long require any lift-gate truck to deliver heavy stuffs.

 

This is my new BendPak Lift. It just tested to lift my Civic Si.

I took a chance to change motor oil. It is a lot easier than on the ground, for sure.

 

thats nice. how much was that lift and how hard was it to install in your garage?

 

Very nice FM! Very nice! Can I come over for my next oil change? I'll bring Hogwylde and some beer... Check out this thread below:

It costs me $2,890. It is not that hard to install it. I watched videos below a couple times and adapted it to BendPak.

I saved about $1,000 for the installation since I installed it myself. Having the right tools make a big different.

Now, I have to clean up my garage.

 

Come on over. You are in CA but I am in MD.
