I put up with that daily. Another rule is that the smaller the item, the lesser the accessibility...

It's why I keep my garage floors carpeted.

I did one garage floor with epoxy and the little colored
sprinkles. It looks nice and adds traction but it's hard to see a
small object that has fallen. Decisions decisions for the next
floor.


I was taking the dogs for a walk and in front of a house by the street were three rolls of carpet -
untrimmed. I unrolled one and it was brand new. I quick got the truck and loaded two rolls into the
back. Had to trim them to fit the garage, but now I have a nice light beige carpet covering both
sides. Dropped nuts don't roll or bounce.

Makes a lot more sense than putting carpet over nice hardwood floors

Not to be a party pooper but does the company that underwrites your home
owner's insurance know about the wall to wall rugs in your garage? :-)

No, never told 'em. I wouldn't expect them to be covered for anything anyway. Both of them are full
of oil, grass, etc stains. But, screws and nuts still stay in one place when dropped.

It's not the carpet they might be concerned about.
