Building a garage

It's fantastic. I'm kicking myself for not buying one years ago. But, make sure you account for the fact you'll be installing a lift when you pour your foundation so you have a thick enough slab.

I've already considered that. How thick is yours? Are there any electrical requirements for the lift?

The lift just requires a standard outlet. If you have them pour a 6" slab you'll be fine. The instructions call for a 4" and that would work as well, but I like overkill when it involves something holding a 3000lb car over my face.

Make sure you run a 220 outlet in there if you plan on a big air compressor. And you can't have too many electrical outlets.
