Re: Two car garages
I just drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the concrete in a place where it wouldn't be in the way and installed a wedge anchor. I have a HF winch I can hook up to it to drag cars in.

Re: Two car garages
So I'm not the only one with a steep driveway who has thought about putting in a winch so I could pull vehicles in?

Re: Two car garages
It sure makes things a lot easier. One thing I forgot to mention is that it's good to have a simple roller where the floor transitions from flat to steep. You can even use a block of wood.

Re: Two car garages
You have to start with a 60 x 80 garage for 2 vehicles. That way in about 2 years time you might be able to still get 2 vehicles in it. I don't care how big you build them, it never seems to be big enough. LOL

I have a 14' X 20' and built a 8' X 12' shed to get the truck in there and the truck is still in my neighbor's 2-car garage. Man I suck at organizing... Bill

Re: Two car garages
I have a buddy that does Poncho restorations in his home garage. He mounted a winch since his driveway is steep and though his neighbors will come at a moments notice, they all work regular jobs and it takes at least 2 to push an empty shell into his garage, so there's not always enough help around. He loves the ease of the winch and it actually made it where he can work on stuff. His garage isn't deep enough to get around a car with the whole thing inside. Since Ken is in a wheelchair, it made it possible to go into restoration full time when his job was ending. He just used a mount for the winch and a hammer drill to put in anchors.
