Hey guys I need your help. Later this year I really want to add a new Corvette to the toy box but the garage is full. Neither the Firebird nor the boat will set outside and no way would a Z06 be left out in the snow.
I have a detached garage that is 28x32. My ceilings are just over 9 foot and I want to put in a 4 post lift. I'm wanting to raise the ceiling height and have been told my best option is to replace the whole roof. Right now I have a conventional truss roof with a 5 pitch and will be going to a 13 pitch with scissor trusses. This will bring me up to 12' ceilings. So far I've been quoted about $4500 for the trusses. As it sets right now the vette and firebird could occupy the same space with 2 inches to spare and it gives me plenty of room to work under the them. The truck would get about 3 feet under it to do oil changes and such.
Has anyone gone through this if so what did you do? Do you think $5000 in materials for an extra 3 feet is worth it? I really wish the last owner had been thinking of me when he build this place.. LOL
The drawing I made shows how the ceiling (in blue) would open up.
