We're going ahead with our move to our other property, and saw a couple ideas on line about converting a 20' shipping conainer into a very small workshop until we get the final property restored (which will house my final shop)... I got to thinking about this (maybe too much) and remembered eventual issues we had when we did this at a former place of employment with damage to the floor, spills & stains, and etc...
So I had this grea (or grate??) idea about putting something like racedeck on the floor of this so I had an impervious and durable (and of course, good looking) floor in the "porta-shop"... I have no idea if anyone has done this before, I'm not sure about the durability of using something like this in a more industrial (and possibly abusive) situation. Also the question came up (as I was perusing the site) as to dimensions, as the inside of the container is a little strange - 7'9" x 19'4"... since I know RD comes in 12x12 squares, how would I adjust for that and keep any center pattern centered, or would it be better to go with a solid color?
And of course, the last question IS color - what would be best for a small space - I'm assuming something light, but I also don't want to worry about stains and stuff becoming obvious... Anyway, since I knowall our cool floor people hang out here (and all have their own solutions), fire away!
