Oh wait is that "open up ..... here"

Thanks I kind of went over the top a bit, but wasn't even my idea to remodel it. The wife just wanted to have graduation for our youngest at the house this time and wanted it to be in the garage. Of course the "old" garage just wasn't going to cut it so we "fixed it up". It's all for her of course

This might sound weird but having a garage like this is why I'm counting down to my Army retirement. Cant wait to settle down and not have to move every couple years. 5 years to go so I can have my dream garage. Or as I tell my wife our dream house.

One down tonight. I did the single stall first since it's a lot smaller and it's a work night

It's a little dark so I'll try to get some better pics in the daylight.

I'm honestly surprised that you don't have a lift in one of those bays.

Trust me I wish I did but not enough height. Poor planning when I added the 3rd stall a few years ago.

Just get your ceiling redone like this guy (scroll down): http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...t=68075&page=4

He even has your garage paint scheme...

Holy crap that's eerily similar. Hmm I wonder what it would take to do that. You'd have to cut through the roof joists which I would think compromises the load capacity. You do realize it normally snows up here in the winter

If I tried that, I'd do it on the two stall side or there wouldn't be much room to get around the sides of the vehicle.

Look at what you started!

Or have one of these recessed into your garage floor.

Thanks guys. Finished the other side tonight. It was getting too late to try and put up the 3' x 6' Ford Racing decal so I'll go after that in the morning.

Thanks! Turned into a bigger project than I originally planned but I have a hard time not going all out once I decide to do something. Got the Ford Racing fathead up but only finished removing half the backing. Going to let it dry overnight.

I'm afraid to ask too. I have a sneaking suspicion it could be the dreaded suspension
