specs:
16x24
384sq ft
10ft walls
15ft to the peak

Nice! Of course you will find out you should have made it bigger to put tools around the wall!  Have fun with the lift!

Just busting stones. I'll take a shed over a driveway any day. I don't care how big you build your garage, eventually you will wish you had made it bigger. I built mine 30x36 and guess what...not big enough! Lol!

I'll agree with you Adam. If I had to choose between my 30x36 with out a lift or a 14x24 with a lift, I'll take the one with a lift. Luckily I don't have to worry about that.

Yup. If your town has a permeable surface rule then you just max it out and that's that!
Looks great!

Even a little shed with a lift is ten times better than a huge garage with no lift.

Just keep posting pictures as you progress. Any details on what you're looking at for a lift?

put the siding up did the roof hung the door and set 2 of the 3 windows.
as far as the lift we are looking to do a used 2 post brand name lift, not a new china lift. when we can get a car in we will decide if we want a offset lift or a conventional one. im probably going to say it will be a regular style. preferably a mohawk would be ideal but we will see how the cards play out

Looks good pal. I just finished a 16x32 garage 14' high cathedral ceilings for a 2 post lift. 100 amp service. 6" slab with microfiber. Just painted it this weekend. Post up some more pics

Mohawk makes a great lift. The 8,000lb one at my shop is terrific; we can raise a car in about 20 seconds and have it lowered in under 5 (it's an older model with the chain running across the center of it but it's still self locking).
The new 12,000lb one works pretty good too. It's painfully slow (probably over a minute to raise or lower). My only compliant on the heavy duty one is the lift arms on it seem pretty flimsy when you extend them and get over 8,000lbs.
Thinking about it, I believe all the newer Mohawk lifts will be too big for your garage. When mine goes up, it has these tabs that raise above the top of the lift and bring the overall height above 15'.

U-coat-it.

I recommend not doing one. If you're going use it as a working garage, it will get chipped up, scratched, and eventually peel. It's nearly impossible to 'patch' it and make it look good. I'd give it a good heavy soaking of thompsons water sealer or some other concrete sealer and call it a day.

i disagree. it's not like his oversized 1 car garage is going to have commercial level traffic & abuse.
I've done a lot of work in mine and the floor has help up very well. the only real chips I have also chipped the floor.
