Hey, and how come it took so long to show us! Lol!

Thanks Brad!

It remains clean but I have had my share of grease literally rain down upon me one or two times and I wasn`t as prepared for it as much as I would`ve liked

The lighting is 6000K daylight fluorescents. I use them for general lighting but I use my smaller portable lights for serious inspection work.

I hadn`t looked at the pics in two years, thought they probably got erased,then I recently remembered I still had them saved on a flash drive. It was just a matter of posting them to Photobucket, and, voila.

Wow, Bill, I`d never have guessed that floor was paint... I always thought it was either VCT or Racedeck. Impressive!

And as for the lift... you`re really making me jealous!

Thanks Charlie! The paint is xylene based ( xylene being good for a change). Before we taped everything down, the lines of the squares were laid down with a blue chalk kit that is used to make lines for tile floors. The project sure beat paying a few thousand

for something like VCT or Racedeck or the kind of tile they show in Griots. Also, it doesn`t have to be permanent. If I ever want to do something else, I can paint over it. Good value and versatility

If you visit Florida,hit me up, you`re welcome to use the lift if you ever feel like doing some vacation detailing.
