Go for it...I have done a 24'X24' addition on my house and more recently a 26'X36' detached garage essentially by myself (help from a brother & couple of friends when really needed). I totally enjoyed the entire process and the feeling of accomplishment when done is pretty cool.

Considering something like the attached pictures to help keep the shop floor clean. Getting mixed reviews on how they really work. Do they pick up dust & fine/small stuff or do they just create dust and move it around?? Anyone here use one of these? Do they work or should I just keep using the...
