Nice! Really like the log cabin style.
I totally remodeled my two car and added a 3rd car onto my house with a four post lift. My lessons learned:
Lots of outlets, and with multiple circuits to avoid overloading them. Run 220V for a welder or good air compressor.
Lots of lights! My 3rd car has 5x 8' double florescent reflector fixtures and one quad bulb 4' fixture, and it's a pretty small garage. I also have a side window and upper lights in the garage door for natural light. I think there are new LED options that have more output than my florescent bulbs. You can't have too many lights.
Epoxy floor, done by a pro, is worth every penny. Just the ability to wipe up oil spills without them soaking in is worth the money. I almost cheaped out and my wife talked me into it, I'm really glad that she did.
On the lift side, make sure you spec out the garage door tracks that go to the ceiling, and leave room on one side for an opener that mounts to the garage door torsion bar. Don't forget the plug in for the opener. I didn't have room for such an opener due to limited width for my addition, having a conventional style opener costs me several feet because you have to allow for the arm that connects the opener and the door.
