<![CDATA[Is there a shop thread anymore?]]>I Don't know, but I installed this over the weekend.  1 man job.  Not powered yet.  Been a dream of mine since I was about 16 to have my own lift.

Getting the shed cleaned up for electric, lights, big outlet drops to be run.  Getting much closer to functional!

Looks to be about the same lift I have. I must say, your space looks killer, congrats.

Thanks for the tips.

The hydraulics may go, but it should be easy enough to rebuild.
