Ok, maybe this isn't exactly relevent but....
When I had my shop built, it was a dream come true. I was very excited and sweated over every detail. It was a big concrete pour and it went well. The guys put a lot of effort into making it glass smooth for me. I wandered around on that fresh slab dreaming of where everything would go, how cool it was to have a little space for a change...

Then a seperate crew started on the metal building. Nine full days to get it put up. When I went out to inspect, 75% of the shop floor was solid black. They used a forklift with hard rubber tires designed for off-road to help assemble the high stuff. Nine days of riding around in circles, grinding rubber into green concrete. When I contacted the company, they were baffled!?! Baffled that it mattered to me!! "It's just a shop floor, sir. What do you expect?" I spent the next two weeks using a pressure washer and every known chemical trying to get ground-in rubber out of the concrete. No, it did not come up. Sven years ago, still have black tire tracks all over the inside of the shop.

I understand the OPs anxiety. It is NOT wrong to want what we want.
(GW is the poster child for this thought process...)
