*That was BEFORE I grew the garage and yeah, I did make the extension
with 9ft. walls and used scissor joists for a cathedral ceiling. If you
can't grow a lift can come in handy. With only a 8ft. ceiling, you will
have to work on the car in a chair I had a old office chair with casters
that I would sit in and roll around under the car. I also had to be very
careful where to place the car so the garage door did not hit the car.
