The owner is away and the gardener was using the mower.

 

"It just died when I went into reverse, no funny noises or anything" he said. "Cant be much wrong can there?" he asked.

Funny I thought!

 

Scrap engine seen them plenty of times before !

 

But what really caught my eye was the floor covering !!

 

Is that a rubber tiled floor/rubber carpet or what looks the part and I bet it's soft on the knees

 

Can you tells more ?

 

Did wonder if it's a pig to keep clean?

 

 

Is it a chipper, is it a mower or another broken stump grinder who cares we'll fix it!

Its PVC tiles 500x500x6.

 

For years I would clean out the workshop 2 or 3 times a year and repaint the floor, usually on a Sunday so it was dry on Monday.

 

Got fed up with that about 5 years ago and bought these tiles. Very quick and easy to lay, hard wearing and very easy to keep clean. Only ever brushed, never washed, but occasional paint or oil spills cleaned up with a petrol soaked rag. (the shop floor does get mopped occasionally)

 

Easier on the feet and anything dropped off the bench does not bounce or roll as far! No damage to dropped things either.

 

As for soft on the knees? Yes, I suppose its better than concrete, but I trashed my knees many years ago so I try not to kneel, but if I do I always use a kneeling pad now. (too little, too late!)
