IBrakeForNobody- get to a carpet store and see if you can get a cheap(free) "remnant" piece of carpet. Put it down on the floor in the builing area whenever you build. Your mother will thank you instead of kill you. Second choice is to watch for a carpet installation going in and ask the installers for a scrap of either the old or new carpet. Heck, go buy a cheap throw rug. Anything is better than what you are doing now. [:'(] [:@]

When I build my new shop this year it will have a tile floor. Why? The main reason is I hate searching for small screws and parts on carpet. It's hard to put down tile over existing carpet but you do have a choice. Go to Office Depot (or similiar) and get one of those big plastic mats designed to go at a desk for your chair to roll around on. CA won't stick to it (at least not very well) and it's easy to find parts that fall (as long as they stay on the plastic )

Hope this helps.
