So I phoned a friend. He suggested I do some more diggin 😭.... So I did some more diggin, and I will admit that the fun was starting to wear a bit thin at this point 😅 A bin that always got in the way will never get in the way again. Then some weaved membrane and gravel for drainage...

Hello fellow garage dwelling peoples, just a quick run through of what I did to make a big *** 6 x 1.1 x 1.75m hole in the floor :giggle:(y) So it begins, found a gas pipe that turned out to be just a pipe thrown in the ********, previous builders attempt at humour no doubt. In the second...

As luck would have it, I got me one o them :bounce:

That's the one (y). Someone's had the arms out at previously and put them back in upside down, cant say I blame them tbh as at a glance, the stops could work like that. I didn't clock it at first but after doing a couple repairs I questioned things putting it back together.

Good spot, but its not that.

Messed about with a jacking beam I just bought. Never a dull moment buying sh stuff, 10 points to anyone who can spot the issue, apart from being 17 years old and covered in crud that is 😅

The last screw went in today, what a trip! Will do a quick run through thread when I get mo (y)

Got some paint going this morning, might be the last coat for the walls depending on what the bugholes say, the floors going 'frigate' grey next then will throw in enough light to burn mi retinas out :giggle:(y)

Today I pretended to be a concrete finisher

Worked on the old tan in the garage today, my T-shirt lines are coming on a treat. Definitely beer o'clock

Will do a quick thread when its done (y) , Ive some plans for a high lift jack that should make it more user friendly. Basic details are:- Length 6m / width 1.1m / depth 1.73m Recessed lighting. Sump pump and chamber, 10" of gravel for drainage (due to water table) Angle top for grates and beam...

Yeah, Ive kicked the idea around long enough so finally took the plunge, lift isn't an option due to height and I'm low on space so settled on a pit (y)

Got a bit more timber in the hole today, getting close to concrete and another round of backache.

This afternoon I pretended to be a steel fitter.

Sparked up a ciggy after putting down a banging fart in his unventilated inspection pit perhaps 🤔😁

My son asked if we could have a swimming pool in the garage, I told him "Careful what you wish for!"

12" deeper than I need to go, hopefully :bounce:

Diggin diggin and diggin, then I finished off the day with some diggin.

Dug out another couple metres of London clay in prep for a mechanics pit (y)

Epic effort, pit looks great (y)
