Default My wife said..."I'll go on top so he can come and go" ...WHAT?

My neighbor is getting a new driveway and can't drive on it for 3 weeks, he asked if he could park on the lift in our garage. About a week later not talking about the cars or anything to do with this she says this out of the blue... I guess I should be happy she's thinking about the cars and the garage....
She's on top

exactly what I was thinking. Does he have the driveway the size of a football field that it will take them that long to finish it?

19 Days??? Holy crap, I had and entire pool deck / patio done (2700 sq ft total) in 6 days.

That include removing 18" of dirt and bring in packing material and two solid days of grading / packing, laying 42 palets of pavers, and sweeping the grout/sand mix between the cracks.

It took longer for the new sod to green up than the patio to be finished.

Thinking about the purchase of a four post lift.

What kind of lift do you have?
Do you have it bolted to the floor?
What did you do about your garage door opener?
What is your ceiling height?

Nice set-up

Concrete takes 21 days to reach 85% of its design strength, so he is just making sure he ends up with a good product.
