susandennisI've had a couple of slow days at work and then I hit on today. It feels like I came in at the usual time (about 6:45) and then I looked at my watch and it was noon.
I've long thought of myself as a pretty resourceful web digger. I just feel like if it's out there, I can find it. One of the first URL's I ever learned - back in 1994 - was Lycos. And I've been a Googler since the first Goo. But this week I've hit a big snag.
I want the carpet replaced in my condo. Not today but maybe next Summer. I have no idea at all what is involved costwise. I figure I have to pay for removal of old, disposal of old, purchase of new, purchase of pad, and all the other work. But, nowhere can I find any kind of guidelines or rules of thumb or any information. I've found a dozen or more sites that tell me to buy the highest quality carpet I can afford. Not too helpful. I seriously don't know if it's going to cost me $2,000, $6,000, $10,000 or more.
I know I could go to a carpet store but that's just silly at this point. I finally broke down and submitted a question to Yahoo Experts. But, I'm really disappointed in myself that I had to resort to this...
