[>] What kind of heating do you have? I am going to go with overhead
radiant since I can't see going to the expense of putting it into the floor
only to have it crushed by dropping something huge and sharp in the wrong place

[>] I am struggling with this one. I have 2 drains in my garage which
are nice for the cars to drain rain/snow/slush into (not that they are ever in
the garage long enough to take advantage of that) but I have dropped small
pieces into them before and the covers keep cracking.

building in the yard :-)
