The Director of Standards, Practices and Finance, a.k.a my wife,
has APPROVED the funding for the proposed shop improvements
first presented on or about Jan 25th 2011. Much rejoicing was heard
after the news was announced. When asked about the good news the
main recipient (me) only had this to say… "I'm heading up to Pugetropolis
and carting off Da_Kengineer_Meister's floor. ... Do you think he'll notice?"

 Seriously though, it's going to be really nice to insulate, sheetrock
 and air condition/heat the shop.

 Kenneth, if/when you see this any thoughts, tips and cost considerations
on your epoxy floor would be greatly appreciated.

Ummm. That doesn't sound like a punishment. Sound like fun actually....  :dremel:

Epoxy is nice, but a lot of work.
What about putting down those interlocking, stain resistant floor tiles, the ones that they use in garages that are supposed to have some give and be good for your feet when you're standing?  They just fit into one another and provide a stain resistant, hard surface. No prep to speak of and if they break, you replace them.

Your going to really appreciate all of this when your done.  :clap: :clap:

Mine is much nicer to work in now and I spend a lot of time in it anyway.

Looks like I'm going to forgo the epoxy floor idea. Once I realized the shop
floor would be nicer than the parquet tile floor in the house I was pretty sure
SWMBO wouldn't be too happy. I'll still need to get most if not all of everything out
of the shop so it can get insulated, some additional wiring run and while I'm at it
some compressed air lines put in. There's enough in the budget to add a small shed
type attached room to the outside to house a compressor and dust control system.
