These pictures tell more than the story don't they!!!!
Jim, the floor started out bare, then because of the constant dust, I happened upon some beige floor paint. I used it because it was cheap. Beige is a ghastly colour for most things including floors. Then I decided to paint it again, this time grey. There were two cars in there at the time, so first I rolled one out, painted the floor except for two wheel lines, then rolled it back in and painted the two unpainted bits except where the tyres were. Two days later I rolled it back a foot, and painted the four squares, and ditto for the other garage. Then I got fed up with grey, and did it a rich dark red. But it was still cold, and not 'cozy'. So I blagged some secondhand carpet tiles and tiled the whole thing. But the colours were a bit random. So then I did it again but this time green. A couple of years ago, a DIY place was flogging tiles off cheap, so I did it again, but because the numbers were limited, I had to go for red/grey/blue. I passed the green ones to 'FuSIL' - (Future Son In Law) for his garage.
The 'Padding' (HaHa) was featured on one of my neoprene related threads and has made a real difference in keeping the heat and the cold out.
All this over the last 22 years.........
Those carpet tiles are getting a bit grubby.....
