Would be nice, when I worked at the university, we had a pit that was 2 car lengths long, and had stairs down into it. We also had a chain hoist on a track girder, that ran the full length as well... I miss working there...

Made the shuttering in sections 200mm deep and drilled 12mm holes every 200 mm then pined it down with 12mm re bar and leveled up

Dpm was fitted inside the shuttering , but due to the road outside being to narrow and one of the main roads through the town it was not possible to block it with a cement truck . so it was necessary to mix all the concrete for the base by hand I divided it up in to four bays with more shuttering and fixed them down with re bar pins and inserted re bar connecting rods

Three sections of raft completed but couldn't resist the urge to start laying blocks . the blocks are standard blocks here 20x20x50cm with built in perps ,just butt and fill. There will be three windows, a 3mx2m garage door and a door in the back.
