Hardwood,
In reading this I can easy think of hay lofts that use to hold a lot of weight. The load are not normally shock loads of any amount and yes they are very well spread out. One thing on hay lofts I can think of, they were not long runs for the lumber. At same time I have seen a full grown horse walking in a house on crawl space. He sure exceed 500 pounds per square foot. That floor was not normal, had full 2 by 12 and tounge & grooved subfloor and top floor. Made before lumber was downsized. Hope you enjoy your shop.

Hardwood,
I wanted to put metal siding/roofing on my shop and run it horizional to sort of look like boards. My wife said politly no. So, it is vinyl. My guess the point about keeping it clean is due to the little ledges the ribs will give you for the dust to settle on. Found out the other day working on leaf blower, they are great on dust and such in shop. Bet most of you'all knew that.

Men, could it be our wives have it backwards...rather than vacuuming the house, they need a leaf blower? I like the concept. No doubt husbands would find that better to operate.

I have used leaf blower on a peanut combine and it did good job. Wonder why I had not thought about it for the tractor itself? Have used air hose on it and had considered setting up pressure washer for quick use.
