I'm having the single garage extended into a double and toying with the idea of some other structure (large workshop shed or single garage) in the back garden (so the car port would become a drive through). If I do all that it would give me 3 garages, a well found carport and hard standing for 4 or 5 cars/trailers. Having a 2 poster in one of them would be a luxury.

If you're thinking along those lines Alan, what about a portable (i use the word loosely) floor mount scissor lift?
https://www.twinbusch.co.uk/Scissor-...-lift::13.html Something along those lines, not necessarily that one. Probably cheaper than a permanently installed 2-post lift and IMHO, much safer.

I have two builders looking at extending the single garage, and would hope to have that work done by the end of September (maybe then acquire Delores and finish off the last few jobs as my winter project?). The roof height in that double garage will necessarily be quite low (I want it to blend in with the original so as not to upset my neighbours or the council). If I build another garage/workshop in the back garden (accessed via the carport) then I could make that with a higher roofline to make a jack more practical. I suppose that project could happen any time once the carport is complete (which will be by this weekend). What started off as a holiday house here in 'Vegas is allowing me to indulge in many motorcar/motorcycle whims... which is quite fun.

I have the Model BL-5000SLX and was £1100 including delivery so they’ve gone up since then by the looks.

To round off the car port piece (that is one tangent we can close on the 'Seriously?' thread):
... GAM fits quite snugly under the plastic roof; the wood looks much better stained as well. A good day and a half's work.
