I need some input from some of you. I'm modifying a building on my property to build a workshop. It only has 7 foot ceilings. That is enough room to install a garage door, but not high enough to open it. I am face with a choice of a minor modification to get clearance to open the door, or totally raise the roof. If I raise the roof, I'm thinking about going 12 foot ceilings so I can install a lift. If I don't raise the roof and still want a lift, I may build a separate "carport" style roof outside for a lift. It is way more expensive and time consuming to raise the roof.

Any input is appreciated.
