Re: Garage - What features would you select?

Howard, excellent point!!!
Flat and LEVEL. I blew it on this. I have half "flat" the other half sloped to the drain on that side. However I did not specify "LEVEL" on the one side and I have to hunt around the floor to find level area when needed.

I also did my walls white. Additionally, high gloss up to the three foot mark, then semi gloss. This helps with light reflection and clean up. No ick or goo really sticks to the high gloss and when cleaned with soap and water, the paint is actually left where it is intended (on the wall).

Regarding the beam or means to lift, I doubled my trusses in two spots with 12" wide uprights in them. Screwed them together excessively, drilled a hole through the uprights and looped a chain through them. Quite pleased with the functionality. One disadvantage is no Trolley option.
