we did a little insulating out there so the heater doesn't run so much and i am working on a cool security system. it will do things like turn on a light under pre alarm and then turn on every light in the building under alarm. also it will give me control of the lights from the house. i will be able to turn on just the outside lights or all of the lights in the garage from inside my house.
i started looking at the rest of the floor and to do that i have to look at lifts. my cieling is a little low for a normal overhead lift and the floor plate ones suck. the inground would kick *** but i would need to buy it now and they are expensive. i found this lift that is like a plate unit(no overhead chain) but has no plate. looks cool but it costs about twice what it should cost.

2 years ago, the Dad's lift acted up, seeing as it had been used for storage in the up position for a year with no movement on it. Dad called the number on a Sunday, expecting to leave a message and got some dude at his house who worked for the company. He talked him right through it. Not bad for an 18 year old product at the time.
