I have found that putting a carpet or
rag on the bench when taking something apart will keep the little screws from
going all over the floor and for some reason these small parts evaporate or go
50 feet from where you are working if they fall on the floor. They will
land on the carpet and not bounce as much and most of the time stay on the
bench where you want them.
Also if your wife decides to toss out
the old mixer, keep the mixer beaters for mixing paint with a drill or mixing
anything else.
One more, when your wife throws out
the cupcake pans, or bread pans, keep these also as they make really nice parts
bins. Especially the cupcake tins. You can organize the screws
and parts when taking apart some of the parts on your car.

Actually, I?ve been
advised of the opposite. It is a bad idea to have carpet underneath the
car, as it soaks up oil and other fluids, and acts as a convenient wick to set
your car on fire with the slightest spark. There are several
carpet-like, felt-type pads which absorb the oil, keep down the moisture, and
are fire resistant. Griot?s Garage sells them I believe. My
in-laws use them under their cars. They weren?t ver y expensive if I
recall.

You may not want to carpet the
whole garage, but its not a bad idea to have a piece of old carpet under your
Forward Look vehicle(s). It will trap humidity sweating from the concrete on
the concrete instead of allowing it to circulate (and potentially decay) the
underside of the car.

Garage floor paint
I painted my car port floor and
used the premium paint made for concrete floors as sold by ACE
hardware. The key is making sure the floor is clean and free of
grease. In my case I own a pressure washer and gave it a real good cleaning
before applying the paint. I read recently where a lady had her garage
carpeted and said it kept down the dust and dirt and she could go out to the
garage barefoot.
