Moose,

I've seen plans and was thinking about building a lift/hoist/elevator into
the attic space above the garage. It seems like most of them cut a larger
hole in the ceiling then use cable hoists to power the hatch as an
elevator. I should do that anyway for just regular storage. I'm wondering
how the tires and TPMS sensors would enjoy a summer up there, though.
