Wasn’t sure how it would work, but the model bus backing “onto” the pad was a perfect illustration! 😂 well done!!!

I suggested something like this over a year ago and got a thoughtful, detailed response, of "nope"...

Wonder if Scott has his bunny suit on today lol

Waitng for ther easter bunny ending! nice pit.

How the mountain has changed. Great memories from family and friends.

LOL! Loved the toy bus at the end as a simulation. Hope you have a great summer and no bad weather again like last year. Enjoy that Grand Baby!

We did the same thing but had a mix party instead of the truck. So much better on life with a pit. 20 ft is all we need ❤ great job guys

That’s a lot of concrete. Four feet deep. Gotta have lots of create to hold those big buses! Very cool

Nice work Scott , always nice to make things easier for you to get thing done…

Great idea. That's turning in to a dream property.

This will make all the people telling you that you need or should of built a pit happy.

I remember during the planning stages for your shop you’d didn’t want a pit inside the shop. It will be interesting to see your thoughts as you start to use this one. I have mixed feelings about a pit. I work on a lot of equipment where a hoist isn’t practical but don’t like the idea of a hole in the middle of the shop

I love to see smart progress, congratulations on the expanse of your business and creating safe work places for yourself and workers.

The concrete truck looked like he was going to start pouring concrete as he was driving up. Driver: I've got fifteen stops to make today..... Lets go.

great idea

You’ll love that pit. The shop I spent career in had a pit ,in ground pit and wheel lifts. We alway used the pit for inspection and oil changes. Loved it

Nice get those inspcters done lol nice addition to the shop..

I decided to save money and built my own forms for the foundation and walls for a bi-level addition to my home. I had a blowout on one wall, which was only saved when a friend helping jumped into the four-foot ditch and braced it. We still had a slope on that wall due to the exact calculations of the needed concrete. It looks like Tyler did a good job.

Good job Scott !!!

Ok... First note on this video... Yall have VW Thing. Thats awesome!!!

Great seeing one of my SRM coworker hard at work looking good

Awesome. I did the same thing. Having a pit helps so much.

Very happy to see you are in progress. Great.

Yeah that property is really coming along scott!!!!

7:05 best visual cue I ever saw😅, I see the madness great job sir's.

That's awsome Scott, what a great help that will be

My uncle was the shop foreman of the Bus Depot for our province in Canada, we have Brutal Winters - 45 ,,, Can't imagine going out on a service call in that.. OMG it hurts to breathe that cold air. I was a long haul trucker and one time our fuel gelled up.. within 15 minutes it wouldn't even turn over...

Hillside pit. No steps reqired. Great idea!

I wanted to more of the site work that is planned - got see the answer. Good job

Glad to see you have an open end to the pit to allow dangerous Gases to escape, If it was buried in the ground someone can lose their life due to gases dropping down and slowly building up. I do wonder with the bottom sloping downwards will to slide down hill, may have been an idea to place a key on bottom to arrest this future slide? Time will tell. Nice location chosen.

Sweet VW Thing .

Very nice Pit to work with.

Wow, that is really nice! Great job!

Careful, that bus almost went off the edge!! bolt down a couple of those yellow parking lot barriers.

the 30 day wait must be killin you guys.....

😂 Thanks for the demonstration using the toy bus 😊

Cool addition 👍

The best part was the model bus at the end over the new pit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just curious, but why didn't you put gravel under the concrete vs just putting it on the ground? Isn't that going to be an issue for drainage and potentially start walking the pad out? Yeah it's a lot of material, but I've never seen concrete poured without a base.

May God bless you all in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

You reversing is perfect. But I don't know if you're aware but you have a giant hand roaming on your property. 😅

that's going to improve working conditions and abilities immensely, im surprised you haven't had 4 or 6 hydraulic rams built into the workshop floor, buses aren't the easiest things to work on, I was a truck and plant mechanic for many years, its hard and dirty, retrained as a refrigeration engineer HVACR,

Looks good guys kw wva.

Love a Darby and a great slump

...I thought you would put the pool near the bowling alley, by the tennis court??

Looks great. I remember people telling you that you had to have a pit. I am curious why you sloped the floor - my guess is ease of construction. Seems like it might be annoying to stand on. I missed whatever that structure is below - a screen house perhaps.

It’s good to see dreams evolve and come to be😅

Nice!!

Looks good. I hope it lasts for a 100 years or more.

Happy Easter How much concrete did you use in that project and what was the ball park expenditure.

Feliz páscoa.

What no timing how long it took for the truck to get up that hill.....😀

Good job

keep the clips coming

How did that pit work out ? Would you do it different if you had it to do over?

What was that last pile of concrete in front of the pour for ?

Quality 👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦.

Is there a floor drain? Between rain and pressure washing, you don't want to be mucking around.

no dobies?

That should make cleaning and work underneath the buses

What is the reason for the slope inside the pit? Doesn't it make it harder to be working in the pit?

Where can I find that greyhound lines scale bus? I want to get one for my pda 3703

Just had to keep the pit people happy lol😂

I hate to ask this, but what will there be to prevent a bus from rolling off the end of that platform?

How did the cement truck do going up the hill?

What was your reasoning for not having the inspection pit in the shop?

Boa tarde.

with the wheel stops tied into the concrete, is there anything tying the entire pit to the hillside to keep it from moving? i mean say a bus hits those stops with any kind of speed. what will give out first? the stops or the entire structure getting scooted back. just curious.

If you don’t mind me asking,why didn’t you put a pit inside the garage? Would make working on the engines so much easier during the winter.

I’m thinking in hindsight you will be thinking 🤔 we should of made it deeper and added permanent cement wheel chocks at the end of the platform… just a thought….

You almost have a tornado shelter.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥃🥃🥃🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍☕️☕️☕️👀👀👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Make a wheel stop at the end so your bus doesn't end inside the greenhouse.

HOW ABOUT SOME BUILT-IN WHEEL STOPS SO A BUS DOESN'T OVERSHOOT AND GO DOWN THE HILL?
