We always seem to do it when there is a deal going on.<br /><br />My favorite one though is when we lived in Kansas. They have a store that does a lot of remnant business. Can you believe that pad, carpet and labor for 1200 sq ft was just over a grand. That was a few years ago. (2004) So it might be a little more now, but man, I miss that place.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740522091681274109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-28478734626137813872010-01-08T07:43:37.216-08:002010-01-08T07:43:37.216-08:00LOL.

I have to get it in order today or I will go nuts. funny thing, just this weekend I was commenting on our gross hallway and bedroom carpet, the cowboy just started calmly asking,'so do you want new carpet OR an arena, barn addition, finish fencing etc,etc,etc blah blah blah'. My thoughts, I just want it all, now.

The whole rest of the house is wood flooring to keep allergies to a minimum but we have to carpet the downstairs because it gets so cold down there.<br /><br />As far as shopping for carpet--it's pretty easy here. We have one store that carries carpet and they have 5 colors to pick from--take it or leave it LOLGrandma Tillie's Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347610921670487366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-81738138749403163542010-01-05T19:14:30.821-08:002010-01-05T19:14:30.821-08:00I did notice an increase in dust when we pulled ou...I did notice an increase in dust when we pulled our carpet, but I LOVE not having to scrub carpet stains.

You won't see it, but it will be there. And no matter how much you vacuum (and who wants to vacuum stairs??) you will never get rid of all of it. HOWEVER, if you have laminate, swiff-swiff! Dirt gone. All of it.<br /><br />Can you tell I'm a carpet-hater? :-DRosie_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363843512357526257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-30312090033450790542010-01-05T14:55:01.208-08:002010-01-05T14:55:01.208-08:00I want you to come re-do my house.
