Continuing my effort to fix-up little issues in the garage, I got around to printing new rollers for my air reel. The reel is only a few years old, so pretty clear the original rollers weren't up for the task. The new ones are nearly-solid ABS and should last much longer -- color coordinated with the safety stuff on the lift too.

Sharing my 20x30 garage with a lift. Had this built about 5 years ago. Enjoying it as much as I can, and served as my office during Covid.

Very nice indeed! Love your high ceiling too that allows for the lift!

Don't know about the Merc but I'll always have my eye on that beautiful 997..............

I like the hanging bi-plane a lot too if you ever get tired of it...

Thoughts on the best way to have the missus' SUV thing park in the same spot in the garage? Other than painting a parking spot...

The border on my Swisstrax works in getting my enormous pickup in the right place. There’s always the tennis ball on a string, or rubber wheel locators. There are laser locators as well. Amazon has a million options, non of which I have tried:
