No need to design a pulley system anymore. They sell them and they work great for this purpose. http://www.hoister.com/default.php And I will still get two cars in my garage. :) You may also consider a L shaped layout. Ads some interesting variations. I'm in the exact same deal as this guy and I can tell you people actually sent me private messages saying, "You'll regret doing a 4 x8" I also mentioned in another forum I wasn't interested in intense switching a few sidings were fine. Wow the hate mail I received I had to leave the forum. I don't get it. Why not be supportive to people's wants...make suggestions and leave it at that. I finally decided on a L shaped layout. Still tweaking it at this point. I also plan to lift it up to the garage ceiling so I can park my Hyundai in the garage. My wife was thrilled with the plan.

You could also design a fold up, stored on the garage wall, or design a winch and pulley lifting system. You could also do a modular set up where you can do switching and continual running. [/quote]
