    Question Auto shop -- What is this plate covering?

    What is this?

    Observed this metal plate at an auto shop. There weren't any drains in the shop. They used to have below-ground auto lifts. Now it's all above ground. What is this plate covering? (More importantly, what is the white gunk all around it, but I doubt we can answer that...)

    It's a body dump and that's quicklime you are looking at. I hope you pay in cash so they can't find where you live.

    I paid in sexual favors. I told them I had no money and they replied that I was going to get stuffed in the hole. And did I ever! Didn't have anything to do with the plate though...

    And I'm sure they 'fixed' the problem too.

    Maintenance access panel for the previous hydraulic system that was installed for the in-ground lift.

    ^^

    Now there's a movie that could use a remake!
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
