Build Panel Lift Part 1 - T-bars

Part 1 of the Build My Panel Lift 4-part series - building the T-bars.
It will take me more than a week to install gypsum board on my basement ceiling. To save on rental fee, or even buying one, I decided to build my own panel lift. This gives me complete control on time since I am not pressured to return it. See how I built mine, complete with measurements customized to my basement ceiling height.
