Just to let them...

    Laminate floor

    My new workshop is once again a basement shop. In my current shop I have an industrial looking polyvinyl tile (as seen below) It's held up well, it's fairly easy to clean, but it's more for a metalworking shop. I won't dance around the issue, I want my shop to look like Don's (Touchwood). Even...
