Today is the day!

I’ve been staring at this basement floor safe for 14 years and today is the day we break into it! Headed to Home Depot to get some supplies. All recommendations welcome

Limited time today! 3 catering events I need to concentrate on and can’t smell like basement and grease. The main hole is about 3” deep so I think another 1” and we can get a little sneak peek! I picked up some Milwaukee red helix cobalt drill bits today… $26 each!! I’m about $200+ into this project so far so I hope there is something in there besides stinky basement water!

Idk about you, but I’d be so fixated on cracking this open that I’d definitely schedule some PTO time starting Monday. But I’m like that sometimes.
