I'm jealous! I have no garage as of last year and have to work outside at 62 years old. Sucks to say the least. 2 more years and I'm going to NC. Then I hope to have a shop again. Congrats! Looks great!
Just discipline yourself not to buy anything you don't really need, and to save a little money from each paycheck, and within about a year you'll be able to afford to pay cash for your lift.
