    Hey Mike
    How deep does the slab need to be to support the weight of a lift. A buddy of mine is looking into a lift and asked me. I couldn't remember what we'd done.

    Mike, does this mean that everyone in the neighborhood can come in and do oil changes ;). Not all of us have a lift yet... You will become very popular very quickly!

    Nice job! I agree with the checkered floor, but I'm a little partial...You can also do a stylized marble checker if you want a touch more class as opposed to 50s diner kind of look.

    Very nice!

    I am putting the finishing touches on my "Ferrari Garage". The final thing to install will be the lift.........sometime in July.

    Are you planning to insulate and heat the garage.........doing a major service on a Ferrari is a great Winter sport!!!!!!!!!!!
