Thanks
@plantmanager. The carpet was just AWFUL!!
And I couldn't keep them clean! If in the future we decide to do something different (For like, when we have grandbabies visiting) I can install a runner. At least that will be easier to change out. But it might kill me to put staple holes in it after I did all the putty to patch them up. There were thousands of them!! Google, You Tube, and Pinterest have been my friends!
