I got a hardy chuckle when I read this.

I have the same kinds of thoughts as you. Then I get these little phones calls or text messages from my wife -- "the FedEx guy was just here with a giant stack of boxes. gosh I wonder what's inside them!!!" She is very good natured about it all. Yes, the lift is a little obvious but you're not going to be slipping much past the goalie anyway so you might as well come clean up front.

The only reason I haven't gone for the lift yet is that we're thinking about re-locating in 1-2 years so I don't want to put a bunch of money into this garage. I'm waiting on the next one to be THE garage where I can build one fashioned after the stylings of my garage hero Jack Olsen.
