   By the way, Scotty Kilmer has a video describing using AT-205 to treat difficult seal leaks. He describes adding it to the oil in a hydraulic floor jack, and the seal leak resolving. If you can’t get that leaking seal fixed, maybe it would work for you.

   @Oldsmob455 The house we are moving to is in the country, but it’s on a hill so real estate is tricky. I’m going to take a few months to work on the idea but it’s more of a shop than a parking spot, because we have lots of parking outside and the climate is mild so that’s not a problem. The shop part will be dual use with a table saw etc, so the downside to permanent posts is a consideration when pushing a 4X8′ of plywood around. No major issues with inspection. Thanks again. Dave

   @spelunkerd Symmetrical being the weight centered. Asymmetric lifts have the columns turned and position the car farther back so the door can be fully opened but I’ve heard they are not as stable. There are some pics of one on Bendpaks sight. I went with a symmetric lift because I knew I was going to be lifting up to one ton trucks. I would advise building your garage extra deep instead of racking cars backwards. My garage is 30′ deep and I have not had any problems front or rear.

   Hey, thanks for posting this, as we discussed a few weeks ago. When you describe it as symmetrical, am I correct to conclude that the vehicle can be nose in or nose out? With limited clearance at the far wall, the option to switch sides is critical. How high is your garage door? What’s the height of your ceiling? I’m planning to build a garage and am considering building it for a lift. Any suggestions? I was thinking a double wide door with the lift centrally placed.

   @fuasshole666 This weather is great but I’m thinking short lived. Going to winterize it probably this weekend.
