I've wanted to do the garage floor for ages and (natch!) the prices for floor tiles always go up...
As an economical Yorkshireman, this has never been part of my plan to take over the world, so I've kept looking for a bargain. Noticed one on ebay over the weekend - 'free' - was the first plus point!!!
Anyway, turns out somebody near Leicester had recently bought a house with floor covering and wanted shut. It looked like conveyor belting in the pics, but he wasn't sure, but by the time I contacted him, he'd cut some of it up to go to the dumpit site (bugger!)
Nipped down yesterday and picked it up, and actually it was easier to load up than if it had still been uncut, so got it home and started the remantling - it must be the world's easiest jigsaw..
Got most of it down before I had to go out last night and should finish it off today - pics to follow when it's done.
So free carpet for the man cave, what's not to like?!

That's the best interpretation of "tight yorkie git" I've ever heard, you're so funny Alan.Alan H wrote:As an economical Yorkshireman,
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Re: Garage flooring.
Just waiting for the edge strip to be delivered then it's done. I have a carpet to go on the belting, but I need to cure a couple of oil 'weeps' on the TC200 and Hippo first when I can be arst.
Shame the 'seller' cut some of the strips, but the gaffer tape will sort that out and the carpet will cover that up as well. All for less than £15's worth of lpg. I do love a bargain!!

Re: Garage flooring.
You must be mixing decriptives with the contents of my garage and yours.
Have you got that Twatana going yet?
Get rid and buy my GSX1400, although it's probly too fast for you....
Certainly too reliable......

Being honest I quite like the GSX1400 but silver is just not my colour for that bike I much prefer the blue one.
