I remember when my Dad remodeled the house, 35 or so years ago... one of the first things he did was to put a carpet down over the hardwood floor.

Got too cold up there for hardwood floors.

... one of the first things he did was to put a carpet down over the hardwood floor.

My mother did the same thing. She hated that hardwood floor ... it was one of the old-fashioned ones, that you had to wax on your hands and knees.

She much preferred the vacuum cleaner ...!
