Garage
All:

This job was a major PITA. From finding out that the rock under my garage was basically bedrock to trying to bend rebar by hand- it all sucked. But boy, oil changes will be a breeze now! Here is a pic of the rebar cage that is in the floor;



I used a HilTi tool to drill into the floor, then epoxied the rebar into it- worked pretty well. As for the trackhoe into the wheel barrow- I had two wheel barrows going, and the trailer was only 10' away. Really didn't have any better option.

I haven't backed the 993 over it yet, but will post a pic when I do. Should have lots of room!

Pretty sure I'm going to use aluminum decking to cover the hole- light, maintenance free and plenty strong.

If you're passing through and need an oil change, stop by!

Cheers,

Paul.
