Haven’t posted any updates in a while, my dream garage is almost done! I moved in the lift and cabinets today which I have to finish assembling, plumber should be back to wrap up next week and I’m having stair railings fabricated. I’ve also added some new stable mates for the RS, covering quite the spectrum now haha. Almost time for the party. 😎

Love it! Congrats! Looks great. What is the footprint? How much space do you have upstairs?

Thanks! Footprint is 50’x28’ with an extra 1’ kick out for the middle two bays snd a kick out in the rear for the stairs. Upstairs is just shy of 1,000sqft and is one large studio style apartment with a separate full bath.
The electrical started out exceptionally fast and enthusiastically. Then a few of my contractors employees were poached by other contractors and things slowed down. We have now pulled over 6 miles of wire and are finally inspected and ready for sheetrock. A huge problem is the garage doors. They were ordered in April and the rails came in wrong. No replacements are available and the lead time is 40 weeks. You read that right, 40 weeks!!! I'm only 10 weeks into the 40... Does anyone know how to source custom bent garage rails???
In good news, the siding has arrived in the correct color and instillation started.

Have you thought about getting them custom fabricated?
Around here anyway, shop rates aren't too bad and plenty of capable shops to fabricate metals of all kinds. Would imagine same where you are, though I have no idea where that is! Ha! Should be straightforward if you can get drawings or the wrong rail can be used as a guide for the tweaked version.
While it'll cost more than a factory produced part, waiting 30 weeks isn't appealing for something like doors.

Have you tried calling the garage door companies that make the high lift conversions? They are already modifying rails to extend current garage doors. Assume they could make the whole railing for you. At least when we had the jack shaft garage door opener mounted, the same company had the custom rail extensions made for it,

Thanks for the "not so great I guess" update... was wondering where your build was at?
Surely in the engineering Mecca the is the USA - you can get some thing made... ??
40 weeks? What is wrong with this world?
Do you have the complete specs for the doors and rails? I believe my overhead door manufacturer could produce them for you. I own warehouses and we are constantly repairing and replacing damaged doors.
