There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks for the comments, it took quite a bit of careful measuring as the space in the front of the roof isn't that big. Had a nightmare actually importing the lift due to problems with other items in the same container that customs weren't happy with, leading to a delay of about 4 weeks in the end. Relatively easy to put the lift together once the single post was in the correct position. The length of the bed is adjustable and I have filled in the central section with lengths of 6" x 2" treated timber, removable just in case I want to work on it at any time (like fitting a sway bar).
All in all I'm very pleased with the way it worked out :yes:

I cannot help but wonder about the roof trusses and how you worked around them!

Well I was quite lucky really as the house has a wrap around extension which means there was loads of roof space in the centre and far end of the garage but I still had to move some of the horizontal beams higher up into the roof space. The area where there is least height is just inside the door so one of the joists needed to be cut out and re strengthened so that the rear lights and also the drivers backrest had enough clearance. I wanted to make sure that the lift could go to its maximum travel without risking any potential damage. The lift goes to its maximum and then you can lower it onto one of its mechanical locks for safe storage or working height. All in all it has worked out well:thumbup:
I changed the brake rod a couple of days ago and it was great to be able to work at the right height rather than laying on the concrete floor with bits falling in my eyes and keep having to get up and find tools etc......luxury

Probably less expensive than a new garage or an addition to the existing garage!
