I’m no concrete guy but I think we can drive a car up this ramp.

It looks a bit steep, but maybe for non-aero.

I think the photo is a bit deceptive. It’s not very steep at all.

So an update. We decided to put the house and our land on the market with the hopes of downsizing but upsizing my shop. Also had a friend make me a new shirt. What do you think?

What are you downsizing?

The shirt is nice.

We are in a 6 bed, 5.5 bath house at 5000 sq ft. I want to be at 4 bed, 3 bath and 2800-3000 sq ft. My kids are 16,15,13. They are not far from leaving (or so I hope).

Yes, like the shirts.  Kids dont seem to leave these days, I hear some dont even drive.  We are in a 4 -3 2800 with oversized 2 car garage and it's a bit tight with only 4 of us and a big dog.  The 5 cars, two boats, lionel train room and working from home doesn't help.  But with only 2 adults it would be plenty big enough.  I'd trade a bedroom for another garage stall.......

Much nicer garage.  Still installing the lift?

Congrats on the house.  Looks nice from the pics.

Thank you. That’s the attached garage. This is the garage I’m going to build but making it a bit larger. And yes, it will have a lift.

Hmmm.  You can just buy that.  Never occurred to me.  We always just built stuff.  When we were expecting, my dad asked how high for a baby changing table.  My wife held out her hand, and my dad measured that height, then built the table, with drawers on sliders, and included a changing cushion.  My wife thought it odd, but I guess I grew up that way.  When my dad wanted a solar home, he built it.  Later, people came and made copies of that house.

Like just purchase the shop? No. I will build it.  More fun that way.

From scratch, or buying the plans?
