Unsupervised napping causes other issues.Recliner!
Did you put the 2” receiver in before the driveway was done or afterwards?I have a couch and a toaster oven, along with a utility sink and washing machine. But no dryer - intentionally. The plan is to hang clothes washed in the shop out in the sun to dry and sanitize. Some of the stuff I work with doesn't completely wash out and needs to air dry.
Also consider fire extinguisher(s).
I have a 2" square tube (trailer hitch receiver) embedded in the driveway concrete so I can put a vise on a post and really pull and twist on it.
I actually have that, plus a little kitchenette, in my garage. It's a walk across the driveway from my shop, but close enough, and still keeps me from having to take off my boots to fetch a beer or snack.A mini-fridge and microwave oven.
Not 3Ts, but I've resorted to using a shop vac for digging similar holes, and I'm always amazed at how well it works. Essentially, drill and air hammer a 4" diameter hole in driveway, excavate as deep as you want below that with shop vac, sink PVC tube and fixturing to hold your hitch receiver, then pour concrete. I'd make my own hitch receiver, or at least weld rebar or L-bolts to a stock one, to make it long enough to reach deep into the concrete slug. Oh, and don't forget to tape or cap both ends and any pin holes of the receiver, so it doesn't back-fill with concrete!Did you put the 2” receiver in before the driveway was done or afterwards?
if afterwards I like to know how you did it.
I put it in before the driveway was poured. I welded short pieces of rebar to it and tied those into the rebar mesh for the driveway and put a stake in the receiver to hold it vertical while the concrete was poured.Did you put the 2” receiver in before the driveway was done or afterwards?
