Re: garage floors (becoming ways to keep floors clean? Floor comfort?)

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Interesting ways this one is branching out..

Myself, I have a uncoated concrete floor..

I have a long, narrow Persian style carpet that was going into a 
trashcan, it has been doing some duty as a floor softener next to the 
car.. (for me to lay on)

Then I found something REALLY good for laying on at a Kragen a while 
back, a pack of foam pads, 2' x 2' that can be attached with dovetail 
edges in various ways..  4 pads for $8 on sale, cant beat that with a stick!

They make a HUGE difference, just using two to lay on while under the 
car is a good size pad, long enough and easily moved around at need..

Another thing I found, is a roll of heavy brown construction paper, 3' x 
  140' for about $8-9, just tear off a 4 to 5' piece and slide it under 
where you're working..  it's heavy enough to soak light spills, and has 
been saving a me lot of cleanup time..  especially with all the dirt 
scraping I'm doing to clean a very grungy underbody.  Just fold up the 
paper and crud into a nice little package to toss in the can..

What I have yet to cover is a Shop Pillow.. Idea being some kind of 
support block or such, to hold up your head while laying on your side 
for long durations.. like cranking on those allthread spring extractors!

I just found some closed cell, fairly stiff packing foam pieces that I 
thought I threw out, so I'm just about set..
