When I was in Denmark, the workshop had a similar floor, may be a common style of flooring in Europe, you never see them for a workshop floor over here.View attachment 986249

Almost finished with the rough work. The handful of tiles on the second photo are the leftovers, that's advanced calculations for ya luck, or as I like to call it, luck.
My father told me the story of the tiles which I thought I would share. My uncle worked for a meal company and heard that at another meal company they where going the give the paving away for free (I guess they got new paving, not sure), so being a sucker for free stuff my father got a nice 2 axle turntable trailer and hauled it home in one load, out of quute a populated town, no straps or whatever, just on pallets stacked on an open trailer with a 60 something hp International. I did some calculations and those tiles add up to about 17 cubic metre, multiplied by 2.5 that is over 40 tonnes... He told me the tractor wouldn't go in top gear
People where pretty insane back then.
The company had an extension on the workshop, and it was cheaper to send the old pavers off in a skip, and put new down in the new workshop, I think because, the new ones could be laid by machine off the pallet rather than by hand.
