I was going over the install instructions yesterday and realized my lift is also 220v. Good thing I hadn't run those lines yet.
I'm at a point where I'm starting to have extra lumber that I wanna store in the garage now. I'm looking at solutions such as https://www.amazon.ca/Portamate-PBR-001-Storage-Lumber-Organizer/dp/B004DGIZMW?th=1
I'm worried that this might be putting a lot of stress on my 2x4 wall studs. Any suggestions?

Princess Auto sell similar units, cheaper, all made in China, of course.
If studs are exposed, you could 'sister' them to become '4x4 or 6x4'
Had 1200-1400# of maple flooring on 5 homemade 'brackets' (2x4s), 2' from wall, ZERO issues

Studs are covered now so too late. I could nail 3 2x6 horizontaly to spread the load across more studs
Lumber can be stored vertically between studs or overhead. (Could be an issue for access and/or potential warpage). If warpage is a concern a moveable rack/shelves could built with castors? Sort of depends on what you want to store and how much you have vs if you are worried about warpage? I’ve used a train of cheap dollys before putting stickers in between the coarses….minimizes warpage and very mobile (access sucks if you have to get to piece on the bottom). Everything is a trade off.

I now have a place in my garage to build the garage. I ran out of plywood so I need to get more. I built the workbench using scraps so it's not super pretty. But very useful. I'll try to find more plywood scraps (3/4) instead of paying 100$ for a new sheet.
That's so awesome when you plan smth, and then you just see it being released. I had problems with my garage doors and the app it was linked to the house by. The doors just wouldn't open. And I wasn't the only one who had the same problem as my neighbor had the same issue. So we decided to change the doors and reinstall the system together. They found the nearest service, and I contacted them at https://doorsdirect2u.co.uk/product-category/garage-doors/. They've done a good job. You know, it seems to be such an ordinary thing that garage doors open as they should. But once you don't have it, you notice how great it was to have it. Simple things make our lives better.

Ah, the 10 mm. I actually found one on the ground once, but I'm still 2 or 3 behind.Thought you were going to say 10mm socket
Now it feels like home. It still needs many shelves and storage solutions but it's good enough to enjoy a cold pint in.
I'm getting ready to do the siding. I first wanna be able to store everything inside, to clean up the yard. Then I'll jump on the siding.
