perhaps as  future project we can remove the wooden ties and pour the floor in the old shop like we did in the new shop.  this could even be done one bay at a time as funding allows.  The joints between the sections of concrete could be done with expansion rubber.  then we get our nice working surface, with sure footing and excelent durability.  And if we do it one bay at a time we don't loose all of our storage/work space for a few months. 
A spike saved is a spike earned.

  Vincent has the right idea take up the rail and the wooden ties.  Dig out the rock and dirt to the necessary grade then replace the rail upon steel ties add rebar and wire plus the new concrete floor.  One bay at a time most of the effort is supplied by our great volunteers and a great floor for a life time.     Fred L.
