- Congrats! I went through this ~5 years ago, and couldn't be happier with the finished garage. The garage floor does have some minimum requirements for the concrete. According to Bend-Pack, the concre

- First off, the space will need decent ventilation to keep the machines cool. If the dust collector lets any dust escape, a little room and everything in it will get really dirty really fast. That wil

- Nothing particularly special for a four post lift, IIRC. If you want to "future proof" it for when you realize that you actually want a two post lift (:-), check out some of the manufacturer website

- I would recommend adding a box fan, hung from wires, coat hangers, etc., from the ceiling to blow on the compressor to help cool it during long uses. John John T. Blair WA4OHZ email: jblair1948@cox.n

- My 3-car garage is as large as I could legally fit on my relatively small lot without going to a 10 foot setback. In my case, the law allowed 670 sq ft; my architect tweaked mine until it was 669! To
