[Shop-talk] New Garage

[eric at megageek.com]

I already have the lift in my main garage.

This one is just going to be for storage.  (I'm only running electric for 
lights and battery chargers, etc.)

But that is great advice for anyone putting a floor in the main shop.


Hum, now you got me thinking about a wheeled, 4 post lift to put trailers 
on in the garage.

HUMMM....


Anyone have a link for a good site for them?

Be careful with your decision about a crowned floor--this will make any 
type
of lift except one sunk into the pad pretty much not doable. While a 
little
bit of angle at the floor doesn't seem like much, it's a lot when a heavy
vehicle is 6 feet in the air.

What I am doing is paving a pad that is 1 foot smaller in each dimension 
of the building.  That way, any snow or water on the vehicles will run to 
the sides and drop into the ground (the pavement is crowned.)

There is also a 65' X 12' driveway to the new building in that paving 
cost.

So does this work when you are putting the building up on a paved pad?
 I have seen these put up before where they basically build the
building, then poured the floor, but not one built on an existing pad.
 Do they cut the pad to put in the posts, or do you have to put
anchors in the pad where the frame/posts are going to go?
