[s-cars] NAC - Garage Drainage Issue

[David Kase]

You can drill some holes through the driveway to the stone below.  If 
you make them where the grates will be, no big deal...

A friend of mine actual did this in his garage to let the snow melt off 
and drain.  Works great if you get the holes at the low points.
