I'm putting the 4-post lift on the back burner for now (simply because I have a storage space for an extra car at the moment, anyway) . . .
However, in order to accommodate future projects (
) I do need more space . . . .
I have considered extending the existing garage again but like it how it is and if I did lengthen it again, they'd be nothing stopping me but the back fence (and that another 25-odd feet away !)
Note at this point that the limiting factor previously was the pond - which I've now decided to remove (long story).
So I'm going to be building a shed . . or two. Or maybe even three but probably just two.
The plan is to build a small one to act as a true shed . . ie. to store the BBQ, gardening tools and Jensen's outdoor toys . . .
The other shed (workshop) will be much larger, will have a workbench and will act as an over-spill for larger tools (jacks, vice, axle stands, power tools etc . . )
This will clear some room in the main garage so I can use the space better and also give me an area (in the new workshop) to do heavier and dirtier work.
I was intending to be moving house around this time but, providing I can eventually achieve storage for 5 cars am happy to stay put another 5-7 years or so, so expansion to suit makes sense.
