Broke Ground On New Shop (Pics)

[JRB]

First order of bisuness when I returned from my trip to Michigan was to start building my new shop. It seems that when you want things to go fast they slow down and when you want them to slow down the speed up. This is the first time I have ever built a stucture and it may be the last so I am trying to do it right the first time.
I want to put a lift in the shop and am thinking about going with a 2 post lift. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand to go with. The heaviest truck I have is my 2004 3/4 ton 4*4 Silverado so I am hoping to get by with a 8000lb rated lift. Also is there any foundation considerations I should be thinking about because of the lift. The shop has 12ft ceilings so I will be able to get a car up in the air. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
