The Home Ownership Thread

That is most certainly a storage lift and not a working lift. Look up 4 post vs 2 post lift. That lift is designed to drive up on and be able to open the door whereas someone else here mentoined that a 2 post allows the wheels to come off and better access to the vehicle itself.

If I had to wager I'd say that dude owns a trucking company. No H8. Beats a yuppie with a $5M 3000sq ft joint with two 2.0L Audis in the double garage.

In high school the shop class had multiple lifts. One of them a 4 post. It worked just fine for things like oil changes or exhaust work.

The dealer I worked at had lifts like that in the oil change bays. All of the fully-qualified mechanics had 2 post lifts.

But I think other posters are right. This place is staged for the photo shoot. That lift is probably there because it is the kind of thing that doesn't require sturdy attachment to the ground (there is space under that part of the garage--it is not on foundation).

The person who built that place probably didn't do their own work on their cars (and probably had a more interesting car selection).

And if it were my garage it would be filled with woodworking tools and cabinetry work in progress.

Dunno, man. That car selection seems right in line with the house.

Right? Or at least a get a nice little machine shop going in there.

Also: Who wants to hang out in a loft above the garage to watch television? WTF?

I've noticed that in the last several years, when staging a house if there's a vacant space in any room whatsoever, hang a flat screen is the answer.

The correct answer is ALWAYS dojo

We just got the interior of our house painted, so the rooms are mostly empty. It's making me want to get rid of everything and just sit on the floor, enjoying the space.

You do you SB and sit in the calm empty room before everything is moved back. Would be a good time to get rid of things unless you truly love the pieces.

When we bought our house, we spent a month and a half removing the old baseboard heaters, painting, and refinishing the floors. Sitting in the house after we had sanded the 100 year old heart pine but not yet protected it, I just wanted to live in that empty house with those beautiful floors, hand out slippers to visitors at the front door.

Decided on our remodelers. We need to make a few fixture decisions then it should start within a month. I am relieved that the selection process is over.

It is just updating a small master bathroom.
