Garage almost done, epoxy floor

Slow process, all but done except for baseboards and other misc trim.

This garage is about 80 years old and we changed the entrance from south wall to east wall.

IMO it is not as clean and sharp looking as a few others I've seen but it is much better than before and now worthy of my cars ...

enjoy.

Nicely Done!....I'm jealous you have the height for a lift.

Looking great. I'm thinking about a lift myself.

That is one hell of a lift system.

How high are the ceilings?

The floor really does look great, but I have to say that is one serious lift. It looks like something they would use on an aircraft carrier.

Nice job, but random question not really car related. What system are you using to hang your bikes? I am currently using an Elfa setup where the bikes are sitting perpendicular to the wall and stick out quite a ways. I like how "flush" your bikes are to the wall.

Nicely done overall.

I like the process, even it's not yet done, it almost looks great!

Gladiator gear wall - i do not know the name of the cycle hanger but i'm sure it's on their website. btw I laid the bikes diagonal so that they would fit tight to the wall otherwise my lift would hit them if they were positioned perpendicular.

Thanks all for the kind words.
The lift was custom designed by a commercial firm that specializes in vehicle lifts a d parking garages. Park Plus is their name.
My ceiling height min was roughly 14' but i'm not certain. If anyone wanted more detailed info just ask & i'll try to provide it.

Very nice. I like the epoxy. I went with a DIY system (UCoat It) and have rally enjoyed it for the year I've been here.

Alcav5 - Great looking garage and I must say that it's simply looking and better and better with each pic.

PLEASE we need more pics of the lift, especially in the partially or fully down position. I'm really curious as to what lowers down each "car ramp". Also, does each side work independently or do they both have to come down at the same time? Finally, what holds up each ramp (cables?) and what's the lifting capacity?
