Default My finished garage! Lots of pics

When my wife and I found our new home, the first thing I noticed was the size of the garage. Out here in VA, many places don't have a garage at all, let alone an attached, two-car, 525 sq-ft garage. Plus it has 14.5' ceilings.... So you can guess what I was thinking.

Long story short, here are the pics - they speak for themselves.

The basics:



Paint is done:





A beauty shot:


The inspiration for the paint:


Polyurea floor is down:



Lift is in:



Finished product:

It's got redundant locks in case the hydraulics fail. The worst case the car on top would be stuck; no worries about the car underneath. It's from Harding Steel if you want to look it up.

Generally speaking it'll be like the last pics - Audi is my wife's, Golf R under, 911 on top.

That looks like the perfect spot to DIY! It would give you a sensational feeling of accomplishment plus save you tons of money.
Any way you can do something about the lift to have access under the car?

Awesome garage, Chris. The lift DOES NOT look safe in pictures, even though I'm sure it is.
The paint scheme is way cool!

How tall are your ceilings to accommodate that lift?
