I have a buddy that is EPA certified to powerwash oil/grease because they recycle the run off water. Then use it to clean. Ill probably have him come down from Austin just make a weekend of it.

A dirty shop is a busy shop... I would be concerned if you had spotless painted floors. Looks like a tidy setup that stays pretty full.

Good deal, I hate to see someone get a fine for something they did not know about.

Not true at all, ive seen many busy shops with spotless floors, even non-performance shops. Some people are too lazy to clean up/organize after a spill or mess. Goes with all types of businesses not just shops. So if you walk in to my restaurant and there is a huge mess and food all in the floor, would you still stay to eat and say its cause its busy?

I could not tell you if the drains in the shop goes to it's own, depends on how the shop was built.

The reason for it is because you push all the oil and grease into the storm drains. The storm drains goes to bayou's and eventually lead to rivers and lakes.

Yeah, one of the jobs i had in high school was to clean all the mess the mechanics made while they were test driving, @ lunch, or getting an other vehicle. My boss couldn't stand a dirty shop.

Is your friend ever coming by for that re-tune? He has been scheduled at least once already and never showed up.
