Default 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




Then the fun begins




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




On with the tanking, building and back filling along with the top steel work










Tied back into original garage floor




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










Fitted some electrics and built some steps......Job done!

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.

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.
