<VV> SHOP FLOORS Tim's ramblins.

[N2VZD at aol.com]

because I really use the heck out of my shop , and i do not want any falls, 
 i used an industrial epoxy floor put on by a professional outfit. i had 
them add  a carbide surface for traction. my take on this floor is , it is 
bulletproof ,  but extremely hard to clean. if doing it again , i might have 
let them do it the  way they do in factories , but it was done just after my 
wife took a bad fall on  someone else's new shop floor that "looked great". 
so i overdid it. i do not  regret it , but look way ahead if you are building 
a shop, predicting how much  very grubby work you will be doing. i have a 
nice work space that is safe , not  a museum...now i had an offer to redo it 
cheap , or free , if i get things out  of the way.  maybe someday. this 
floor is much better than off  the  shelf stuff for durability. it  looks grubby 
, but works for me. i  worry about guests and meeting groups not slipping, 
so I did it safe! this floor  is @5 years old now. iron wheel jacks leave no 
marks on it.
