Oh goodness! There is something terribly wrong with the floor in your shop. Too clean. Way too clean. And Painted? I would feel obligated to sweep it almost every day!

Seriously though, does that flaked paint floor chip when you use a floor jack and jackstands?

I'd better not let my wife see that picture. She likes to point out oil drips and drops after each project I complete.

Hey Sir,
Well, that floor was professionally done, about two weeks prior to us closing escrow. The house was brand new and so was the RV and two car garages, (obviously). I wanted that coating on there BEFORE anyone parked or drove on them. They did an outstanding job with Sherwin Williams Professional Epoxy Floor coating.

Now, about the "chips". Well, it's a seriously tough floor. We've now been here for three years and I've only got about 3-4 chips in it, at various places. You gotta look hard to find them. When I put the jacks down for leveling, I place some special, 12" x 12" x 2" thick blocks under each jack. That helps spread the load and, protects the floor. I do the same when I'm using Jack stands. It's so routine now that I don't even think about it when I'm about to do some or, any, heavy work. And I've done a heck of a lot of heavy work.

My floor jack has no effect on that floor. It rolls on it just fine and leaves no marks. Now, as for OIL AND GREASE etc. This is one primary reason I did this floor like this. I could pour the entire 19 quarts of used oil (black as could be) on it from the oil change on our Itasca Horizon C-7 330HP CAT and, it wouldn't even leave a mark. I've had a few mishaps and, when it's all wiped up, no one knows anything ever happened.

As for "cleaning and or sweeping every day", well, I kind-a take pride of that floor. It does get mopped every week. I pull out the coach and the two cars and our Honda Goldwing and, do it with a commmercial bucket and mop. The whole operation, including putting everything back, takes me about an hour. No big deal. I've laid down on that floor to check something under the truck, Jeep, motor home, bike and fell asleep, a few times. No biggie.
