I've just been siding here and there after work, but mostly too busy with travel. Feels good knowing there's only one final inspection left.
I picked up my Bendpak 2-post lift from the shipping depot today to save a few hundred dollars.
Used a 2x4 as a giant pry bar to scoot the lift to the edge of the trailer while suspending it with the engine hoist.
Once there, I picked up the trailer end and drove the trailer out from under it. Then a series of floor jack maneuvers to put it inside.
Oh and I have a garage door! It's a high-lift track that goes alllll the way up and with a side-mount operator so there's room for a car on the lift.
On the lighting. If you ran some lights perpendicular to the ones already up. That would help with some of the dark spots from over lap. Especially with the press and any other tools along the back wall.
Do truck things, you el Camino!

Looking great. Can you tell me more about the siding type you're using?
In reply to Indy - Guy :
Hardie plank fiber cement board. It's heavy as E36 M3 and expensive, but it can't rot I guess.
I too have done the solo Bend Pak tango.. although I got a neighbor to put mine in the shop with a skid steer at least. We stood my buddy's up with 2 of us, but with mine since I was solo I put a chain hoist above and hauled each post upright (very slowly..).
Looking good! That lift will spoil you quickly.
