Looks like a great place. You will love the hot and cold water, even just for cleaning yourself up before heading back into the "wife's domicile" Plumb it for air lines as well before the sheet rock goes in. Not sure if you have a compressor or plan on getting one, but this is a nice thing to think of now that you will be happy about later on. I also learned the hard way that an extra 220 line is never a bad thing. I started playing with welding this year and had to add a 220 line after the fact. I agree, if you can now squeeze some more height, now is the time to do it. If you use a 2 post lift, there is really only a 2 foot section at most where the columns and cross bar goes that is of major concern. Also, factor in garage doors and where they are when open potentially. Worst case, just use the lift with door shut. I posted some pics in my gallery finally.
