Susan and I are getting new floors put in this week so we went out to buy the materials last night on our way to eat dinner with the Blues. When we got there the floor guy obviously didn’t want to work with us and he wasn’t exactly the brightest guy either. This became obvious when Susan asked him how much the padding was per square foot and he said:
We don’t sell the padding by the square foot, it is $25 for a 100 square foot roll.
Since we were short on time we didn’t even bother trying to explain to him how a roll that covers 100 square feet is the same as selling us a box of flooring that covers 12 square feet…it’s all sold by the square foot.
When we got out of there we were worried {{Susan edit:only Paul was worried, not me}} that everything wasn’t going to fit into the car (we had 62 boxes of flooring and 8 roles off padding). Surprisingly everything fit into the back of the Fit. The suspension was completely compressed in the back and the bumper was about to drag the ground (see the picture) but we made it home without any problems.
Tonight we start ripping out the carpet and getting things ready. Elliot’s brother Graham is coming this Thursday and Friday to put the flooring in.
