My next project is building a 24'x14' shed for working on big stuff like
the jcb, tractor and E150.

I want to put a pit about 20' long in the floor. I have digger etc so I
can esily dig the hole, but I don't know how to go about making it safe
to park the 7 tonne jcb on it with it collapsing. Is there a way this is
generally done?

It would be acceptable to say the jcb is too heavy (its high enough off
the ground to work under anyway), and I make it strong enough for
everything else, so up to about 3.5 tonnes.

Also, how does one ventilate it to make sure CO etc cant build up down
there?

Thanks a lot,

Conrad
