Being the smart person that I am....
You make a good point, Larry.
I may reconsider however, I would HOPE that I would never drive over it again. Then, why woul I make it thicker. Hmmm. j/b "Larry The Snake Guy" wrote in message ...

If you're thinking you'll make the lid thicker so it wont break when you drive over it again, keep in mind that that just means the tank may break instead. Personally, I'd rather have the lid break... Oh, and I come up with a figure of about 940 pounds for your lid (just the concrete)... But then you do have a backhoe, so maybe that's OK... |
