You might want to check your local building codes, anonymously, for items like pits and drains. Speaking from experience, if the health dept gets involved with you project, you might wish you had never mentioned it. In my last garage, a double, I wanted a pit and a drain in the other stall. The health dept required me to install a drainage pit for the drain at a cost of around $1,500 and the 2' pit I wanted was a hazard and I needed to install a removable railing. I was over budget and gave up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Paul G.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List ------------------------------------------------------------ I built one of those out of cement blocks into our old barn floor. It works great. When we poured the floor we framed out the pit so that 3/4 inch was recessed over the blocks. That way we cut plywood to be the deck when the pit was not in use. I do of course worry about carbon monoxide being heavier than air and never use the pit around a running engine. Paul G.
