As for storage, I went to costco and got a few of their heavy duty racks, and just store stuff on there, but I have more **** piling up, but once I take all of the pending truck parts off, I should have a ton of room left.

I would look into costco for storage racks - $70 give or take... they can hold up to 1500lbs.

On a side note to add what he has already mentioned. Those storage racks are rated for the weight the frame can handle...not the shelves. Most of the shelves they give you are 1/4" plywood and will snap in two if you put a 50lb dumbell dead center of the shelf. So look for storage racks that have real sturdy shelves too. I broke about three shelves on one unit before I returned the stupid thing to Lowe's and gave them an earful.

I'm glad I don't live in Cali.....I would not be able to take someone telling me what I can and can't do on my property. If I want a damn lift in my building, I'm gonna put one in it.

I love these "post your shop" threads, always love checkin out other peoples' shops and gear. I don't have a shop now, but a garage that houses all of my shop tools for the time being, until I get divorced and move on. I just got done moving all my crap about 2 months ago and early next year I'll have to move it again

Moving my big tool box (I say big one since I have a small one and some side boxes also) is deadly, I need a flat bed or a lift gate, and it gets scary using the lift gate!
