sides. Dropped nuts don't roll or bounce."


What the 'ell?
What namby pamby sissy would carpet a garage floor...especially in a light colour?

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.

I do the same thing but I use rug scraps. A 5x5 berber scrap does a
great job and you can move it to where you are working. Nobody wants
to sit or lay on concrete in Florida.
I can pressure clean it and hang it out to dry.

Same here, but my scraps are about 12'x15' and they don't get moved, cleaned, or hung out to dry. I
do run over them with the leaf blower and a vacuum every now and then though!
