Hey Mooseman....simplicity is a thing of beauty.
....although I have to mention, this looks like a code violation. If I'm seeing it correctly, there's no trap to prevent sewer gas from spilling onto the space.

I'm willing to bet the floor drain has a trap in it. Mine do.
I had a floor drain blockage one morning a month or so ago, and had about 20 gallons of water from my washout booth all over the floor before I knew it. It took til noon to get it open, with all the emulsion, ink and assorted buildup that had collected over the years. And yes, there was a trap in the floor, so it was tough to "rod" out without having to hire a rotary rooting service.

I just had to clear a gravity drain tile at my house this past weekend... we've been calling Rotor-rooter in every few years to do the work and this time I said, "I've had enough of the $250-$300 fees"...
I rented a rotary rooter at the local rental store (cost me $47).
.. watched the video they provided the link to.. and went at it.
about an hour later, the drain tile is flushing better than it ever has... (our house is on an underground spring).
the rotor-rooter guys would only run the machine in once.. I ran it 4 times... each time I got progressively more junk out of the pipe...
(just something to keep in mind for next time)
