They reused my screw type garage door opener, turned it up on it's end and anchored it to the floor with the motor in the air.

Having someone else do it sounds like a good idea (for me anyway). Any pics of the modified garage door and opener? I'd be interested to see that as well. Also, how much did those mods cost? It all starts adding up 
I was thinking of having the lift on the single car garage side, but I'd have to take measurements to see if the four post would fit and allow you to drive in normally. I don't have an opener on that side yet and I could potentially get it all fitted properly for the lift when I do it so it'd be great to see how they did yours.
Thanks to everyone for their comments and garage shots. Always good to pass such ideas past "the collective" to get feedback and point out potential issues before you even buy a product. I appreciate it!
