I,m cheating (this is Chris's dad)
As with all things 20/20 hindsight is an advantage.
Therefore mix special extra expensive stuff in the concrete when laying it. I never learnt the name of it so I have used PVA adhesive. It's
fairly cheap and you don't need much of it.
The advice given on this thread so far sounds good to me. Unfortunately new/prospective builders are unlikely to see this thread until too late. I
expect most people log on to this forum after they have started building. Possibly if they log on before starting they might give up.

Fine except trouble isn't the voltage of welder cables its the 240v mains for the grinder, drill and every other portable or bench power
tool. Where mains sockets are used the user should be protected by a rubber or rubberiesed cork matts.

Funny thing but if you read the fine print on most cement/concrete treatments and additives they are nearly always PVA glue based.

If you don't fancy wall to wall carpet get yourself a couple of strips 3'x6' for lying/kneeling on it really does make life a lot
better. if you are doing body panels it means you alays have somewhere to put the bits down without too much worry that they will get scratched.

The large square carpet samples are good, just go in to any good DIY shop and look interested in carpets.

Hi All
Costco are doing some rubberised floor covering mats it was in there the last time i was in. not good for the whole floor but the bits that you are
walking on arround the car i think it would be great.
Cheers
Brian
