Was gonna post pics some time ago, but just got around to it. First, I had to take them, then I had to figure out how to get them off the camera to the computer and then post them. I got it done without @bucket helping me. (I am old but learning). And yes I am proud and happy with what I have, and I owe almost ALL of it to my Bride, she's a hell of a money manager!!!!!!!! as you can see it's crowded in the shop, moved almost everything from the shop downtown to this one, from a 40x50 to a 30x32, didn't pan out real good. The building you put up is almost NEVER big enough! The 5 bay is a real lifesaver, store cars and pick one to work on in the big shop, if I can get the kid's and grandkids stuff done. This is the current one.

I saved a good while before I built my shop. I worked outside and on the ground for a lot of years before I built one. I did a 40X80. Front half is work space. Back half is storage. I keep enough projects going to keep me busy. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, minibikes, hit and miss engines.....whatever. If it burns petroleum, I fool with it.

I have been known, in my younger years, to finish whatever was put in front if me and go for more! Those days are over!!!!! My Bride, Georgia, will come to the shop to check up on me and we will sit down and share 1 or 2(maybe more) while we BS. So in answer to your question sometimes ALL of them! The Miller goes down really easily and the regular Coors does, too!! Same company.... Miller-Coors Brewing! Also I don't usually wait till evening, I'm RETIRED, so sometimes we start earlier, depends on my attitude!!

I'm 6'4" and wanted something I didn't have to bend over to get under. This lift is tall. Tallest one that I found, so I bought it.
I don't like it for anything bigger than a 2500 size truck. I use post jacks when I pick up something that heavy with it too. The Chinese lifts just aren't as heavy duty as a good American made one, but it works fine for anything I use it for. I don't regret getting it at all.

I think you're gonna make it, Jeremy. My case, it was a LONG trip!! As I have said, my Bride has made some VERY GOOD decisions for us along the way!! Both monetarily as well as slapping me upside the head a couple of times to get me back on the straight and narrow! Most of the guys and gals on this thread are pretty good folks, I believe. I would welcome any and all of you to stop by my place any time you get near here!!!.....By the way I have 2 BIG fridges at my residence across the alley, ALWAYS FULL!!!!!! @Vbb199 Vince, you might stop at the store and pickup an extra!!!!!!! LOL I bet @JoeR Jr ,Joe would agree!
