[Rhodes22-list] Flooring and Shelving/also Rug replacement

Mon Jan 28 20:52:39 EST 2008

Elle,
Believe me, no thunder here.  Did you make a pattern others might use?  The one I got drops in or takes out.  I'll not be able to post a picture until late next month when I'm in St Pete again.  The only reason I brought this up is that others may come to conclusion, as I have, that their carpet is getting a bit grungy.
