Great Thread! A couple of things I learned... Sit down and sketch out your space and move things around, Think about how far u will have to walk and the position of your car in the space, it really helped me, if you are limited in space nothing beats the plastic fold tables, I have seen guys with 6 or 8 lined around the outside, and you can always fold them up... The other is painting your floor and not spending alot. Go to your local hospital and ask to speak with a floor guy in the EVS (enviromental dept.) alot of these guys work on the side for cheap... A guy came out, used an aggresive pad with stripper... It makes an awesome painting surface, I paid him 60 bucks and he brought all the equipment... Walmarts grey paint is made by dutch boys, 50 bucks did my 30 x 25 shop... Its great b/c after a project u can touch up and it looks great... If etched good, I have dropped a running grinder

on it and it hardly comes off... Hope this helps! Hope my pictures show!
