Default can't turn back now

Welll I've been wanting to do something with the dirt floor in my shed for some time now and my buddy called me and said that he had a whole pallet of left over plastic snap together tiles 12 x 12" so I said sure ill take them. I was bored and couldn't sleep last night so I hurried and cleaned the floor to put them down. Looked over and noticed I had plenty of paintnleft over from previousnprojects. Well I got my measuring tape out and started measuring the emblem on the original. Got a pen and paper and statted coverting everything oved... and here's the finished product. Best part is the only thing it cost me was 5 hours of my time. Its centered down to a half inch. I took the inches from the emblem doubled them and coverted to feet. I got a roughly 6ft wide by 7 ft tall logo... fits right in... let me know what ya think. The tiles are woodgrane alson

I didn't notice till now but in the thirdnpicture you can see the emblem I used for measurements. That's the size difference I'm pretty proud of it and I'm sure the 62 O will enjoy being over top of it

The pictures make it look a lot better then it is. I purposly didn't do a a+ job simply because it is gonna get scuffed and scratched. And the tile itself is rated to be driven on by vehicles so I shoukd be good to go. Only thing is the tire chains in the winter are gonna tear it up pretty good . Oh well it will just give me a reason to redo it even better

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
