I actually have a small electric hoist hanging from the trusses right now that I use for similar situations. So that should work well.

Thanks for the props...

We're between $20 and 25 K (Canadian) to date, but this is most of the labour myself. I'm guessing having it built would have been around $35 to 40 K.

Just to clarify, this space does have a number of "upgrades" that have cost additional money...

Size - 26 x 28/30 (roughly 750 sq.ft.)
Heat pipe in the floor.
approx. 7" thick floor with 12" deep perimeter thickened edge
6" concrete perimeter curb
2x6 construction
walkable "storage" attic trusses (see below)
2 oversize doors (7.5' x 10')
and darker siding (about 3x cost of white or tan)

Overall, it's a fantastic space, and well worth the additional time and money - although I don't think I could have afforded having someone else build it for me. But then again, the quality would not be what I want...
