Exciting day...garage upgrades completed!!
For years after I did the garage make-over I wanted to install heating/air conditioning and get a four post lift. Got the lift about year ago...but my real desire was to be able to stack the Vettes (had to keep one in a neighbors garage since the garage door created a height problem)...so this is my garage prior to the latest upgrades>>
 About a week ago I finally had heating/AC installed (Mitsubishi Mr Slim Ductless Split Heat Pump)>>  Air handler portion is next to the window near ceiling... on a 94 deg/HIGH humidity day the system held garage temps at 74 deg... great system and is SER 21 to boot and thus qualifies for the 30% Federal Tax Credit. Next was the garage door... was watching a Jay Leno video on the install of a Lift Master garage door opener and that was the key so I had a high lift door rail installed along with the Lift Master system (which I highly recommend) So here is the completed install (Lift Master is attached to the wall thus eliminates the center lift/rail drive system)  And now....drum roll>>>   Yes, I am a very happy camper..

Re: Exciting day...garage upgrades completed!!
Very nice indeed.
I think most of us would love a large garage, but are typically living in a home with a standard size one. I have the exact same problem with the opener and center lift/rail drive system. The one you have installed will probably encourage others to go that route provided it is not too costly.

Re: Exciting day...garage upgrades completed!!
My neighbor was actually sad to see the Vette's go...he liked having a nice car in his garage...but I like them together in my garage
 Johnny...the MUZ-15NA (15,000 BTU) system installed was about $3650 but then take into account a 30% Fed tax credit... good deal
