I was participating in a thread the other day started by a FReeper who has started to grow his own tobacco because of the ever escalating increases in tobacco taxes.
The fact his "crop" is tobacco is neither here nor there and I only mention it as way of introduction to the idea for the title of today's thread theme.
We all got talking about the benefits of making and or growing our own things as a means of saving money and were called on the carpet by a bean counter who claims that when one adds in the time it takes to prepare the things we grow or make we are not saving any money and in fact are losing money because the time could better be spent doing soemthing that actually pays money.
I disagree and would like all of your opinions.
That's great, and I will pass that tip on to some friends - but *SIGH* I have no carpets..........so I have to sue sprays.
If you have pets who bring their little flea-friends to visit, check out post #200.

LOL!
I wonder if it would work on hardwood floors - as that is all I have?
Hmm. Good question. You could certainly try it, but IMHO, I'd apply the salt at night and sweep it up the next day.
Walking on it too much might cause fine scratches on the wood.
It can't hurt to try it.............I'll try it in the living room first - that's the floor that is most in need of refinishing, so if it were to scratch a bit it wouldn't be noticed....LOL!
