I look forward to hearing your experiences with that scissor lift. Thought about doing the same here because of low ceiling so seeing it work for someone else would be cool.

If I don't get one now I never will, other stuff always seems to come up. I may have to re-pour a section of floor if the hoist starts falling over. And might have to look into a highlift garage door setup to get the tracks and opener out of the way. Then add on a 12-16' long extension so I can fit more junk inside, and

I have 1 double door 16' wide I believe? 7' tall, it hangs down about 3' below the ceiling.
I was thinking of what you're describing, I've always called it a highlift setup/conversion... https://ddmgaragedoors.com/diy-instr...conversion.php
I could probably get away without doing that as the opener is in the center of the garage and there's about a 7 1/2' space between it and the track. In theory it should be fine as long as the door isn't opened with a car raised up. I'd have to idiot proof that. It usually doesn't open from the outside if I have the lights on inside(cheapo amazon led tubes) cause they mess up the signal from the remotes somehow.

One big garage door is so much more practical than a 2 car garage with 2 doors. You open your 16' door up and you have that much wiggle room to put stuff in an out of.
My point was gonna be that everyone lately seems to gravitate to 2 separate doors for their 2 car garage.
I have one of those roll up doors at work, on the exterior of a regular steel bay door. Sometimes the roll up freezes in the freezing rain.

My hoist is slowly getting closer.....I just got a call from a sales rep at babco asking if I still wanted the one I ordered....Yup...So now I hurry up and wait. I just received an emailed invoice but the eta on it says April. I hope that's just a copy and paste from last year. I will update next year when it shows up.
