Decided to dig a hole in the garage

[giraffe]

Very handy to have could definatly do with one myself , great job :-D

Cheers folks.
I do like a little project now and then.

Its just something I have always spoken about doing.
Going back to when I served my time as a mechanic we used pits in the garage so I'm quite happy to work them.
Just need to get myself a jacking beam and a steel spreader beam and it will be finished.

I think they are illegal here in Australia now because of the OHS implications for that reason. Everyone uses hoists. Nice hole though.

Surely it can't be illegal in your own house!

They can't even be that PC about things in Blighty. :smokin:

You need council approval. I think they are illegal because LPG and CO2 gas is heavier than air and people have died from the inhalation. Plus there is the fall risk etc.

It looks like I was partially wrong, maybe it is just well regulated.
