My Gawd - Kirby Vacuum salesman

10. yep

I don't much care for wall-to-wall carpeting either. I love hardwood floors!

The house I live in is on a slab foundation so no choice but the wall-to-wall.

I had "high-low" installed (it was at the seller's cost and they were cheap lying SOBs, believe me on that one (nothing like screwing over a poor person is there?)) and went for a maple brown/light brown combo. You can drop something on it and never find it again.

I don't much care for them as I mentioned and that is why I picked up all of these smaller Persian rugs.

I had to have many of them put away after my surgical experiences of 2009/2010 as I was told "no "throw" rugs" by the doctor.

I've never put them back down in the places which I had tripped on in the past because of them.

I wish the sellers of this house had put down a decent carpeting. This is about 12 years old now and frankly, it is likely shot to hell after the various cats that have come and gone, and a dying puppy mill dog that never seemed to know what it meant to "go outside", etc. etc.

As for replacing them -- how would I do this exactly? I have furniture on these rugs and I certainly cannot move any of it, esp. that 2,000 lb. desk I had shipped up here from SF some 20+ years ago that needs to be moved with piano belts! YIKES. It seemed like such a great deal when I bought it for $125.00 in SF at the time; never imagined it would be such a huge gigantic problem to deal with years later.

I guess that carpet installers don't come to your house and move furniture do they? Please let me know. We have no "Home Depot" here, only private businesses that sell carpeting and no, I haven't dared to go "look".

*sigh*

Thanks again Warpy.

Any other ideas for me are greatly appreciated because, this cheap damn carpeting sucks. It is coming apart where it hits the Pergo floor in the kitchen being salvaged by yes, a long Persian runner rug luckily. Otherwise, I'm thinking I'd be quite screwed.

Replacing carpets is a lot of $$$, I know this already. Would like to try to salvage what I have if at all possible but, they came with a 10 year warranty and yep, that 10 year warranty is dead and gone.
