$2k, me and my brother-in-law installed it with the help of an engine hoist.

I was able to do a local pickup and avoided shipping charges that way.

For 3k, it seems you can get a pretty badass set up with those direct-lifts.

(sorry if i miss understood what you were saying)

We're on the same page...I will be using Por-15 for rust prevention and coating purposes. Possibly might paint over it also.

I'll be using a sound deadening paint within the interior though. I think the same stuff you mentioned, actually.

No, I have a standard concrete garage floor and no reinforcement was necessary. 3000PSI 4" concrete is the minimum requirement. Also the posts must be at least 6" away from any subfloor heating or plumbing.

I do have a power FC, but it shoots flames at idle in very low outside temperatures. Note the snow in the photo! I'm sure that the cold air gave me ample number of chances to get a decent photo of a flame without me even sitting in it (you might even be able to spot my reflection in the car ). It stops spitting fire once it's warmed up, though.

Wow...that shed really is amazing! I wouldn't even call it a "shed"...looks like a full-service garage to me. From the outside, it could even be mistaken for a house lol.

^^Yeah, its more than a shed. Had a lot of fun building it; have a lot of fun playing in it. With two rotaries to maintain, I don't know how I would get along without it.

This was the new house I bought and wasn't even moved in yet. I am in the middle of swapping oil pans right now and will post new pics once the garage is cleaned. Maybe a few of my other toys.
