Re: Ship Shape Boating Episode
Here's my 2 cents. I find it amusing when these home improvement shows pull the carpet on a job and wad it up in a big ball then try to figure how to pick it up and carry it out. Or they take a 30 foot shot and roll it only to try to heave it out a window. When we do it that carpet gets cut in 3-6 foot widths, rolled then carried out. Nice n easy that way. I also watched a program where the guy and his lady assistant had a bad spot in the carpet so they proceeded to explain how you can just hack out a square with your box cutter (everyone has one of those so you are well qualified to patch that spot right in the middle of your living room). Then go to your local carpet supplier and pick a piece that was close in color, hack a similar sized piece out of that, slap a little double stick tape down there, throw your new piece in place and you now have yourself a repaired carpet. I should be so lucky to pull off a repair like that. If I tried I would be buying somebody new carpet I'm sure.
