Write up on a self installed lift.

Absolutely kick a$$!!



What a cool read and very funny too :bow :xyxthumbs



Great link. Make sure you download the movie too that he has.
 
Yeah, scroll near the end and you'll see a smaller image of his NSX on the lift with a bold style sentence or two above it. His son is in the picture above it standing outise the garage. You can roll over it and click on it. It's an 8 MB download.
 
Thanks for posting the link to that thread. I've been laughing out loud here and I'm not finished reading the story! :lol
 
I finally viewed the video and :eek: That garage door opener pulley cord is brushing up against that back of that NSX! I sure hope he strings that thing out of the way next time! :nervous:
 
Yeah, mega-long thread, but it was well worth the read. I felt so bad for this guy as I was reading it. But it's so rewarding when you have those long projects come to a positve finish. :bow

I saw the garage door opener pulley too. Hopefully, that cord is wrapped in a MF or something by now.



This one quote sums up a few of my journeys. It's nice to hear that there are others who go through the same thing.



"Well one week passes and no new news. Meanwhile I suffer the endless torture and ridicule of my family, friends, and co-workers. I am hearing from people I haven't talked to in years - calling me up as they have heard I was trying to put a lift in my garage and it wasn't going well. My closest friends know not to even ask anymore. It is all I can think about. It has consumed me and I know I have to figure this out myself, MacGyver style, as patience wasn't something I was born with."
 
Sooo funy :rofl



I havent finish reading it yet but I will.

Man this guy is totally crazy. Some guys really dont know were to spend there money. He have a really nice floor though.



I just try to figure out the face of they buyer when he will try to sell the house :eek:
 
Man, I'm glad the lift install didn't go that badly in our garage. We have a lot more room, though.

BTW, thats my beater offroad truck, still in progress. It's not pretty, but I'm sure whatever imperfections that are there can be buffed out :lol
 
I sort of skimmed over that thread and it looks like he did a really good job getting that lift in there.

It just seems really out of place in that garage/house. I would have looked for a house with a bigger garage first before spending that kind of money in there. Just my 2 cents.

Not in this garage, but the next one will! My dad has decided to turn this garage into a guesthouse/large gameroom/party room. He then wants to build a garage nearly double this size (from 1300sq ft to 2400 sq ft). He wants to go that route because this garage is already plumbed and ready with a toilet, sink, shower, and septic tank. The next garage will be bare with no major plumbing. That will have three garage doors and one side will be designed with washing in mind. :woohoo:

oh I thought he meant an actual lift. Like he was going to do work on the car or something....

You mean that he can't work on the car from underneath? :eek: Seems rather pointless to go through all that and not be able to have access to the underside of the car. That is why I'd want a lift!



Funny story. But who or what is "Shasta"? :nixweiss :confused:
