Decided to dig a hole in the garage
 

Seeing as this section has become quiet now that everyone has a power washer I thought Id get the DIY on the go again.

Getting fed up crawling round under cars so decided that a pit was required. (no height for a ramp)


Started with this,

Aided by the use of a Stilth Saw to give a nice edge

To leave me with this after 2 days and the removal of 27 tons

Then onto the internal floor. Painted with bitumen primer, burned on some felt, painted with rubber coating then poured in concrete

Nice job. Has anything fallen down that drain yet? :)

Great work paul when are you doing mine ????:hahaha:

bloody hell Paul, top job :smokin:

Nice work mate. Need one done in a 3rd floor flat if poss ?:hahaha:

Nice job Paul,I see you even have the pipework in for a shithouse down there.:hahaha::thumbs:

Thats smart, is the drain just a soak away ?

Hahaha cheers folks,
Just need a Jacking beam to finish it off.

Haha its only a sump, put it in there to house a submersible pump just in case it ever decides to flood it's self.
Its dry enough as you can see by the original hole but you can never be sure with the water table.


As above mate.

Brett,
I decided to stick in ventilation not so much for while i'm working down there but to give it fresh air when its covered and stop it getting stinky.

Excellenté. :partyman:
