I'm installing a two post hydraulic lift in my shop and ran into a "little" problem. When I went to drill holes in the slab for the anchor bolts, I discovered that the slab where the left post will go is only about 2 1/2" thick! The installation specs for the lift call for at least 4" of concrete. I called the contractor that built my shop and he is going to come Monday and cut out the slab where the posts sit and pour two new pilings. I think they will be 18" x 18" x 12" with the bottom of the piling slightly larger than the top to make sure that it is locked into place. The aggravating thing is that I was almost done with the installation. Now I will have to wait for the concrete to harden and gain full strength. Oh well, I would rather fix it now than after getting a car dropped on my head!
