Stunning. So well thought out and executed. But then it’s Tom Lamb, what do you expect. Apparently he does a bit of farming as well 😂 Loving the Celebs coming to view the hole. What is it with blokes and holes? 🤣

Grand job....only thing missing there was you could have carried the visqueen up the sides as well (called tanking) to prevent damp coming though the blockwork especially as you want to paint the walls.... better off just sealing them ....but its your pit...last thing make sure you have an escape route before you use in case of fire......well planned and a good job

Seriously tasty block work. Tom Pemberton wishes he had he pit done in 2 days

Cool job 👏

As a bricklayer I can tell you those lads have done a nice neat job there. The only advice I would give them (apart from that trowel is too big) would be buy yourself a magnet with a hook eye off of Amazon and tie a few meters of good brick line to it. I am not the best trowel but I am popular onsite when a trowel goes down the cavity

LETS GOOO TOM!!!!!! I DIG IT!!

Dropped his trowel 😂 reminds me of when I was a kid and all farm walls were 9” hollow blocks. Nobody ever caped them off and everything ended falling down the holes never to be seen again 😳 very tidy job sure gobbled some blocks

We know all about rhat

That is a very elaborate pit you have there. Next project: a brick outhouse.😅😆😉

Crackin' Thought the blockwork might bring the sides in a bit too much but it looks fine. Very sensible to have the lights recessed but I hope they throw the light up a bit rather than just side to side. Modern 4 postlifts have LED lights that shine up ~45 degrees from the inside of the rails up and across. The white paint will help a load, too. Be great to see you install the rails. Will you have a central jacking system on the rails like MOT testers do to get the wheels off the groud also. Great and quick work and a great team!

Dropped trowel = magnet on string! 😊

Tom Lamb farmer tunnel project, let's go!!

Lovely :)

Too late now but might of been an Idea to put a square sump in the corner on the floor so if you get water in it, you can put a pump it out easy. The one in my work gets water from the trailers etc adding up over time. handy to be able to suck it out. Brush the water to the corner and the pump over pumps it out. Looking good love the work btw

Nicely coming on Tom. Haven't you got an air greaser? That's what we used for the lorries, but I suppose it's all battery ones now lol. ❤

nice on tommy boy

Can you get it …….. the tom lamb catch phrase lol

i helped build an inspection pit once we shuttered the sides and put mesh and conctreted the sides then faced the concrete with 9 inch hollow blocks with rebar drilled into concrete base and filled voids in blocks with concrete and rebar a structural engineer worked it all out because if you only use block the weight on machine ie trailer tractor etc could push the sides in with a person in it

I think you could have a small recess all around the pit perimeter to fit in covering planks. That way if you have to work on something small you can just drive over them, line up and remove the covers where they are clear of the wheels. And there's less danger of falling in and breaking an ankle, I guess.

Very good Tom thanks for sharing. Are you going to paint the block work white ? Obviously your going to link it up with Furzies underground tunnels 😅😅😅

Tom lamb you need fit Teseo HBS Air lines in there they would look amazing
