“That’s DISGUSTING: What you Guna do about it?”

[@jbbumpkin]

While I like the idea of the chequered floor, I would be inclined to keep the grey for where you can find things that get dropped - small screws, valve collets etc.

[@richardsweet5068]

I think the chequered pattern would be too busy and would detract from the clean look you are going for.

[@Phuc_Yhou]

Nice result on the door film and good idea to protect again 👍 Maybe go black border and grey centre as the walkway around the benches will have the dirtiest areas 😉

[@mercedesmaintenance.6339]

I would do just the border around the grey. Chequered would get a little busy. Looking great 👍

[@just_interested1]

I think grey around edge, black solid in the centres of each area

[@judgementalTX]

Black with grey border will look smart. Chequer will look a bit racing finish flag and lame IMO. Doing a wonderful job. I'm glad I'm not the only OCD person who was thinking about that shutter!

[@andrewnewell2874]

Lee, I think you should consider inlaying your logo into the floor! This is easily done by using a CNC Milling Machine to mill the logo out of black tiles. As the tiles are square it is easy to scale the logo and machining to any size and across multiple tiles. Make a fixture to virtually eliminate workpiece set up time per tiles. Then cut a negative of each tile out of BE Orange tiles and marry the two together. They will fit perfectly together like a big jigsaw puzzle. I would steer clear of a chequered floor idea and look at using the grey to distinguish walkways or machine operating areas etc. I can just picture your office now with a nice black floor and a large BE logo in BE Orange inlayed into it in front of your desk.

[@jamesr4386]

Looking good. That little partition wall hiding the racks needs a tie at the top back to the main wall where the racks go otherwise it will get a bit wobbly over time.

[@thegodofthebeer5388]

Personally having seen many workshops of various types I would go solid black flooring with the allocated walkways between areas and fire exits in grey. This will denote areas not to block or impede it looks mint and is a really good way to see exit routes if the worst should happen

[@martinstone3656]

What a bonus with the roller shutter door, that will save time and money, gonna look banging when its all done, that said chequered flooring is 1970's and will look stupid.

[@who-gives-a-toss_Bear]

9:10 NO black floor covering, you need all the light you can get. It’s a workshop, light gray tiles all over works very well. Makes cleaning easy and it’s all one colour so it don’t fool your eyes like the check pattern is meant to do.

[@billweston6579]

Black and grey checkered. I would have also hung a black ceiling and taken the walls up to meet the ceiling. Stops any dust, ect, from getting into the clean area and would look mint with the lights

[@petercourtney4749]

No to chequered mate, peace out

[@terencehawkes3933]

Take care of yourself Lee. Everything is looking great! I agree that the checkerboard may be too much!

[@markahad6583]

Definitely go with the border design. My opinion on the checkered? To busy. Thanks for the update. Cheers.

[@EricaMTB]

If you have the roller door open, it's akin to building engines outside in the garden.

[@terrycrawford1982]

Lee, you need your company Logo (Barum Engines) on the roller shutter as a backdrop to some of your video's.

[@kwakgreen]

Lee. If you were a horse you'd be glue by now.

[@michaelschweizer4772]

Great work guys!!!! Will be a good mood booster coming into a bright organized shop in the mornings.

[@richardtannahill1268]

What about the roof/ceiling Lee? I take it that you may do something with it later once you get settled in after this work is done? May I suggest if you did a suspended ceiling, you can get insulated tiles for them. We used these in some of our offices. Changing out the old suspended ceiling tiles to the insulated ones made the offices quieter and warmer. Would help with concentration when building engines while machines are going and less heat going right to the top! Agree with most others on flooring, don’t go chequer, you’ll get sick of it very soon. Black on the high traffic areas if possible to help with dirt. You can’t help it with oil and dirt when working on engines, especially on the tear down.

[@fredflintstone8048]

Dark colors for the floor is better. Let time needed for mopping up. If you have black and white checkered you'll need to clean the grubby floor more often.

[@anthonyworthington6495]

We are not going to see the floor, so not that bothered really about the floor,now walls are a different kettle of fish,can't wait😊

[@StuartLawson-g5b]

I think as an old time served mechanic in 1960 ( that's when we trained as engineers scraping bearings etc ) that you time would be best served putting gray around the bench areas, it will look more professional to clients as well as serving as an easy to find dropped pieces of kit, otherwise the place looks fab ant it makes a change to see proper engineers at work, well done guy's.

[@fetus2280]

Add in some ORANGE (Your Car Color) to the flooring.. like a Stripe or some design .. Keep to the Brand if you will mate. Black, Grey and some Orange maybe ? Just a thought mate. Cheers.

[@colinscutt5104]

What about the Pre War gas heaters?

[@richardg9791]

Could you use the grey tiles to highlight your walkways? Then use the black for work areas.

[@chascarpenter5006]

Great progress by all, love the lighting, dont forget to hoover the floor well before you lay the new plastic tiles. cant comment on the black & grey tiles, as i would have it all grey!.

[@johnreed1580]

Thanks for doing videos at all. I am not worried about when they actually come out. Plenty of stuff to watch on here.

[@richardhartley7094]

Checkered will look to busy they grey with black boarder that will hide any grubbiness that can build up on the edges of the workshop👍

[@DerekWalsh-l4i]

Don't lay the tiles as a chequer pattern, I guarantee that after a while it will start to do your head in. You will think yourselves to be chess pieces! And if any of you ever suffer from migraines a chequer pattern floor could sctually set you off. Grey floor, black border would be my suggestion. It's still a big job, good luck with that, hope you have lots of help.

[@Sonny_McMacsson]

Shouldn't the hex lighting be higher than the top of every door to ensure that things never interfere? Sorry, it was bugging me.

[@gbowne1]

I'm partial to black, white, gray, blue maybe a bit of red and a bit of yellow for safety. That floor is a bit grubby though, even if you do lay tile on it.

[@alansmith4974]

One thing comes to mind Lee with putting tiles down, heavy engines on trolleys do you think they will move easy or sink into tiles, just a thought

[@billybgamer5205]

Mark designated walkways somehow, whether by tile colour or yellow tape/ paint and keep them clear.

[@ryanforde90]

Use the black as walkways and grey for where benches are hard to know what’s best

[@fatwalletboy2]

Stroke of luck with the roller door film! For the areas of outer cladding visble above the wooden walls is it worth spray painting it a freah grey?

[@adee-H1066]

I'd personally go for black border and grey innards,easier to find dropped items and easier to see any spills on the grey.

[@mikestanley3219]

Really looking forward to seeing the tiles, last year I was planning to lay them in my garage at home but never got round to it, but was concerned how they would stand up to cars coming in and out. So I hope you can give updates on how they stand up in use. If they're OK for you, then they will be for me!

[@davenoble7350]

Tiles all one colour with border as you said, Also whatever colour you do the border have the letters “B.E.” In the same colour as you walk in.

[@super6954]

Thanks for the update, it's taking time, but you are also doing a lot of work getting there and it'll look real good. I'm not sure from looking here what the finish on that door is as far as a plastic type coating or white paint, just be careful that the cleaner don't start fetching paint off and knacker it. I had a friend here in Canada ask me for brake clean, to try get some household wood paint off her factory paint finish tin sheet garden fence. it took that dry wood paint off quick but also where she did it, it started taking the paint off the sheets back to bare metal. Take care

[@stephenlebillon3066]

Can’t believe your hung door didn’t get a mention😂😂😂 Great effort.

[@davidgerrard8661]

Hilarious with the door shutter 😂

[@spyder_man]

Like the black and grey idea Lee, will look great.

[@Flakmagnet1701]

I'd think chequer would be a bit hard on the eye over the whole area. Nice work on the door. It did look crap, and that film was a real result!

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

I think i will put them tiles in my large house entrance hall, suitable colour. I hate frigging carpets! And in my double garage. It'll look mega.

[@philipthoreau3590]

Lee! Careful friend, you sound like you may have been overdoing it. Steady pace gets there too. Don’t try to get it all done perfect at day one. 🇳🇿P

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

At roller big door, put a rounded metal edge on the floor tiles, to stop damaging them and tripping hazard.

[@chilledoutpaul]

Just Thought about having a visitors autograph and optional comments book !

[@PeterWeir1]

You could try some of that film stuff guys use in paint booths on all your walls if you wanted to keep it mint

[@andypandy955]

Chequered that's what I saw in my head when you said you were laying a new floor. Can't wait to see it finished. As for your saying your dizzy you are exhausted mentally it has happened to me.

[@renevanderest9200]

I have similar flooring which expands quit a bit in summer temp. I suggest not to glue it. Make sure your walls are white which reflects the lights. Lay a black row to the offices and where you walk most, keep the lighter stuff along the walls for light. Proud of the progress so far. Keep the videos coming.

[@kenmcnaughton5882]

Who fitted that door Lee? Looks like a pro job. haha

[@ataxpayer723]

Here's an idea, just use the chequered pattern tiles in the assembly/clean room. Then use plain grey in the rest of the workshop.

[@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol]

as a panel beater/painter, explain to me how you are gonna sand the floor??

[@Graham_Langley]

A definate No to chequered and don't mark out any work areas as they're bound to change.

[@craignorton7086]

Lee, Start the flooring at the roller shutter door. Not the back of the area. You want a full tile for a stronger floor, not a trimmed tile.

[@martincraig-je4vo]

Top of the walls above the partitions would look great painted black. Make such a difference in the video's 👍👍

[@chriseaton7942]

Put a pole in the middle Lee, sound system, bar and dancing Ting Tong girls hehe

[@davebentley3542]

Excellent news on the door fella, I thought when I suggested cleaning it that you’d have quite a job….. result for you 👍👍👍 I think the chequered pattern would look coolest, but it’s wasteful when you extend into the other areas….. maybe the centre with border would be better.. Coming together though now, you must feel really glad you bit the bullet 😂

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

Those lights, what about the car ramp lifter thing, and headroom?

[@chrishall4558]

That’s not a clean roller shutter door, it’s a advertising billboard opportunity

[@Crabneedspony]

Looking good, what about security around the door, cctv maybe ? 👍

[@STANLIZ4]

Glad youre making everything professional! Part of the evolution of a growing business. Keeping it tidy and clean applies in any business, always easy to postpone decisions and accumulate piles. Ongoing discipline on house keeping never goes away!

[@davidheap880]

Those lights are fantastic Lee

[@stevebez9556]

Q - what are you doing about the roof / area above the dividing walls? Lots of volume there and it wont be in keeping with the bottom of the new walling? Suggest blackening it out ?

[@jimamizzi1]

Flooring, grey with black trim

[@ukcarflippers2220]

I’d do what you said lee but you have a few grey spare and need more black I would zone the standing areas ins front of m/c in grey

[@jamesplotkin4674]

Have said before, I love any content. Do like the floor border idea, rather than checked. Consider where you'll be doing your most traffic and/or standing as to the colour choice there. Keep hydrated and your glucose numbers up with adequate fuel intake.

[@redchemicalsltd2324]

Lee, Great job so far, all the effort will pay dividends in the end... the workshop will look as smart as the finished customer engines...Super Professional.

[@IsaacBarum]

Big week but can’t wait for the end result! 👌🏼

[@ouroborosirvington]

Phwahh look at that plyboard, just lovely that

[@petercunningham3469]

Plain floor defiantly 👍

[@catxls1835]

Looking good!

[@Davidfowler-yy5ze]

Black floor with Barum engine logo in the middle in grey tiles.

[@stevebez9556]

Not Chequered ! Black under racking and grey in walk areas

[@colinbrown3364]

Light grey is best floor bar none.

[@jonss1948]

Dunno about tiles. Have you considered epoxy?

When u said black and gray I said diagonally black grey black grey alternation next now look dam good 😅

[@minigpracing3068]

Those new lights are causing a problem with the video... You are going to need to figure out how to control the shutter speed on your phone to stop the flickering. IPhone or Android?

[@liamlennon880]

Grate job lads

[@bish1121]

Im not gonna lie. When i first looked at the thumbnail i thought why are you wearing a Star Trek uniform & doing a Vulcan hand gesture for live long & prosper.

[@fatwalletboy2]

Ha metoo

[@Peter_Vidgeon]

No wonder you had to have a lie-down after fixing the hex-lights. Going up and down ladders for two or three hours is very tiring. Did you get your wife to fan you? I fully agree with the other comments about the tiles. A chequered pattern would be too frantic. If it was a fully open space, then perhaps yes, but with so many shelves, racks and work benches dotted around, then no.

[@paulsven7923]

5:00 use cheap laser to adjust the lights, much easier

[@puggzymalone5824]

The person who mentioned the glare issue might have a point you know. From about 11.03 you could see a hexagon reflection on your face. Personally I think the lights look ace! It might just be where you stand though.

[@EconoboxGarage]

The workshop is looking amazing. I would go with the chequered floor. If the tiles are are smallish you could make up the squares with four tiles of one type to make a larger patch of colour. Are you going to brace the top of the wall that closing in the racking? I would be concerned with people accidentally banging into it and knocking it off its moorings.

[@nextechsolutions5955]

Black with Grey edging as the man said…

[@NeilIveson-n8e]

Why not have a company logo on the roller shutter door would just make it look professional during videos, as for the floor plain black then it makes the features you want to show stand out, 👍

[@mattwills87]

Grey border as they will get dirty no matter how much you clean them.

[@tangoengineering]

Checkered floor from me

[@alangood8190]

It's a workshop not an office so I think your choice of décor is completely over the top. If you start worrying about damaging the tiles as you move things across the floor etc etc etc instead of just doing the job in hand it will end up as a very unnecessary and annoying distraction.

[@koerttijdens1234]

No no, yur not disgusting. Naic.

[@dave.harmon]

Mate, if you're feeling light headed, you should be home resting. You certainly shouldn't be driving to the workshop. Take care of yourself.

[@hardkoren]

You sound like you've made up your mind already in favor of the grey border.
