yeah guess that's what I need to find, search out an architect and bite the bullet. I'm sure none of it will be cheap but in the long run worth it.

Honestly as far a remodeling goes it would be one of the cheaper projects you could do. If you have the basic stick frame house it would just be removing the sheetrock and floor beams with maybe some bracing on the roof rafters. If you want to get crazy don't damage the floor beams and save them so you can put it all back if you ever sell the house. I would say an architect wouldn't change more than a couple of grand to sign off on a blueprint of the job.

yeah I just need to make some calls and get some costs.

I'm no structural guy, but doesn't seem that hard, but maybe a bit harder to not look like a hack job haha.

late reply, but was looking at the pic and noticed the low ceiling on the left. you didn't happen to raise the ceiling on the lift side did you?

I only ask cause man I'd love to do that in my garage. low 8ft ceiling but full attic above it I can walk around in.. gotta be 10ft high in the. attic, kinda annoying. if I could raise even a section to clear a lift I'd do it in a heart beat.

We built the shop from scratch. Its 2 story. Up stairs is improved storage except for where the lift is. Downstairs is my shop, heated and air conditioned.

I wanna work in that shop. I had heated shops but never an a/c shop. Could have used that in KC, Mo. on a 100+ degree day and 90% humidity.

Just for ***** and grins, I brought my bathroom scale one day and weighed myself at the start of the day and I knew it was gonna be a baker day temp and humidity contributing to "hell" and at end of day, I ate no lunch on purpose, I was 6.5 pounds lighter.

luckily it was my younger days, Florida summer, shop was in a strip mall front, so couldn't put any vents up front for airflow, just one roll up door in the back and a metal roof. some days 8am to 8pm. you'd be wet from the time you walked in to the time you walked out. you could temp gun the walls and it they would be 110deg. even your tools were warm to pick up. we lived in front of fans, but you'd have to step away every so often as they dried you out you could feel the warmth. come back a min later when sweat built up again and it felts like ac.

I made it a year and said this isn't for me. I don't like fast cars this much. that was basically the end of me thinking I build a drag car that and when I saw what the owner spend on his car just to get in a clip in a magazine. found me a maintenance job where I had freedom to do whatever I wanted and never looked back.

I still dream of an ac shop thou 30 years later. haha.
