    Man, that whole project is awesome! Of course it helps living in OR on the coast where it is a very scenic area. I used to live in WA and loved the views of Mt. Rainier. Can you see Mt. Hood from your place?

    John, Looking good. What is the brand of that lift? I might be able to tell you any good or bad things to look out for. The retaining wall was done the way it should have been, over built FTW!

    What is the brand of that lift?
    I am not sure. I don't see a name on it. A tag says 9000 lb. capacity.
    I also know I can walk up straight under a car when it's on the lift.
    Some I looked at I could not do that.
    It has chain instead of equalizer cable.
    Has two hydraulic rams.
    17 in. x 17 in. base plates.

    "and it works"

    I found a model number. It turns out it is a WEAVER brand lift, model AFH-90-B.

    Re: building of a dream

    I made 105 bobble struts last week also.

    I get up before 8 am and hit the sack by 11 pm....work all day.
    I don't have TV reception to distract me.
    When all the shop is done, I can cut my hours a little.

    Working on moving all the shelving and product up to the upstairs, 500 sq.ft. loft. Keep hearing the old Jefferson's TV show song..."Movin' On Up" while carrying everything up the stairs.

    Re: building of a dream

    Building was $18,000, it is 36 wide, 42 ft long and 16 ft eve. Plus the concrete, about 40 yards if I remember right. Then I spent $2000 for the loft.
