He's got less than $3,500 in this garage including the lift (but minus the tools, I assume).

Re: The 12-gauge Garage
Wow.. that's very well thought out. For a two or two and a half car garage, he made a lot of usable work space.
I'd love to have a lift!

Re: The 12-gauge Garage
I do enjoy the aspect of ground clearance that a stock-height bus offers, while places that rent lifts by the hour are becoming more common around the US:
Besides being stocked with tons of tools, a tire balancer, 15-ton press, they have compressed air, chemical cleaners, and some other fun stuff. (And a big-screen TV if you care about such things.)
The problem of me having a setup at home like the video posted is the amount of effort my family and friends would have to exert to get me out of there to socialize. In hindsight, you could probably lock me in there with a Volkswagen for days before I noticed the hunger and thirst kicking in.
