Damn!

Impressive man. Well done. I had a similar transformation in my garage, only the floor isn't as elaborate. That floor wouldn't last five minutes with how much abuse I put it through. LOL

damn dude! so, judging by your garage and the cars and mods in your sig, you're absolutely filthy rich lol. I gotta ask you, what do you do for work?
Communications Engineer. And very thankful...

Here is a little story about the process.

My wife and daughter wanted to find something special to do for me for my birthday and collaboratively they came up with the idea to redo our garage and make it the ultimate ?Man Cave.? In doing this, they planned for several months. They purchased the cabinets, shelving, and flooring, all while keeping me under wraps. The only problem was getting me out of the house long enough for them to get the job done; they tried on a couple different occasions to do so but they were unsuccessful. So they finally resorted to getting my wife and I to go to the 3-day Spring Car Show at Daytona International Speed Way, this allowed plenty of time to get the job done but my wife had to go with me leaving only my daughter. My wife and I left early Friday morning for our weekend adventure, and soon after my daughter, friends, and ?extra? children got started on the project! They finished my new ?Man Cave? in about 29 hours from the time I left, working all hours of the night! Sunday, everyone awaited my arrival home, and when I finally arrived and put up my garage door I was absolutely speechless as to what I found. My wife and daughter did a fantastic job planning this, as I am a very hard man to surprise; and everyone who worked on it did an amazing job with the work!

Did some digging through this thread(awesome stuff btw):
http://forums.corral.net/forums/showpost.php?p=8866322&postcount=676

he redirects to this forum where he elaborates on the install of the jacks:

I got it direct from Ever Eternal in China. The closest thing to this I could find in the US was the single cross Bend Pak. I greatly prefer this style as it only interupts the floor directly under the platform. Plus this lift was 40% the cost of the Bend Pak which was probably made in the same plant in China.

he also says its a hydraulic system that is running of 220v. very interesting stuff. has a industrial looking control panel to boot!
