Floor plan looks pretty close to perfect though maybe a 3 car rack next to the lunch room would be handy and what about an old tyre machine for a bit of on off action.

No, I sold it to a Kiwi guy (Joe) who will just use the car as an everyday driver.

Thy always look big until you move in with all yer stuff. Curious to know what you are gonna use on the floor. Berger had Jet Dry Enamel I think, it was for conc floors. Then they had a cheaper variant, not so tough or resistant to petrol and other fluids like the top of the range. The anti slip powdered grit additive works quite well but the grit sort of attracts dirty marks and wears out. Not know brand of a more superior finish I have seen that is anti slip without the need to add grit

This one http://www.duspec.com.au/duspec/file/AUDD0081.pdf they say not for garage or carports.

They have heavy duty jet dry which'd be good for our home workshops - at least the ones with non dirt floors

I know this FIFO person that worked as a tyre fitter whe he was younger, he even lives down that way, about another 45 minutes from Swinging Pig.

I'm sure if he was asked nicely he could spend a few days every now and then at the shop skinning and shaping

Bugger that it needs a half pipe, a bowl and some wall ramps. Then I can get my hip replacement when I fall off my trusty skateboard

looks really good
