All:
I don't have enough ceiling clearance for a lift, so I just got done installing an inspection pit. Finished dimensions are 6' deep, 3' wide by 8' long. Offset toward the front of the garage so I can still slither in/out when the Discovery is over it.
Step 1. Template:
Step 2. Cut floor:
Step 3. Remove concrete:
Step 4. Excavate:
Step 5. Place floor:
Step 6. More rebar:
Step 7. Build form:
Step 8. Place walls:
Step 9. Strip forms:
Step 10: Finished! (Well, almost...)
Step 11. Timbers to cover hole when not in use (Still working on that- might use old aluminium walkways?) Next year I'll paint it with that epoxy stuff.
Cheers,
Paul.
