I’m planning on putting laminate flooring in at the building.

Which actually is a good opening for...I was wondering if you all would be OK with me getting an area rug for down there with the money 2J is holding. That has always been something I wanted for down there, even when Larry and I planned on moving down there...you know one of those Oriental type ones...I was looking at them the other day, and thought that might be a good thing to get with it...if it was OK with all of you.

I would like to ping everyone and thank whoever sent some, but I don’t know who all did.???

I think a rug is a great idea :) However, whatever you want to do with the money is fine with me - it’s for you with no specific item in mind.

I got the laminate from Lumber Liquidators, who I think are nationwide. It came out to $1.09 per foot and that’s including the foam that goes under it and the tools to install it. It’s incredibly easy to install, however, it takes two people to do it. After speaking with several people who have it, we modified the installation a bit. We are not leaving 1/4 inch around the walls and we are using a brad gun to brad it down every few boards. The brads can be sunk in the lip so that they are covered when the next board is put down. That keeps the floor from walking and seperating.

Pictures of the flooring - it just snaps together basically.

I think that sounds great... Whatever you’d like :~)

When would you like to do that? Would you just like a check or cash... or a gift card to Wherever you’d want to buy it?

Hey girl! I just got in from a ride and thought I’d check the thread to see what was going on. The area rug idea sounds like a good one to me. I love the one you’ve picked out too. Polypro rugs are real durable and easy to clean too. If you spill something on them you can basically just take it outside and hose it off.
