Just when you think you have seen it all.........

[Jim Martin]

And he was damn proud of it to.............

I asked him if any was going to come lose and he told me he used 3 inch staples to hold them down... :shock:

 

[Dolly Llama]

wow

he should of used different colors

at least then it would liked he meant to make it an interesting "quilt" pattern room


..L.T.A.

 

[Mark Imbesi]

I'm kinda liking it! I agree w/meAt, different colors would work better! I may offer this service and teach an IICRC class on it! LOL! Certified in Carpet Quilting! LOL!

 

[Greenie]

So....he installed it dirty, and called u to clean it?

or is that after...?

 

[Jim Martin]

this is after.....and talk about some pile reversal.....the shit was going 900 different directions.........

 

[John Watson]

Ya gotta admit "It is different""

 

[Chris A]

good lord...

 

[Brian L]

Won't those staples start rusting when the carpet gets cleaned?

 

[Chris A]

not if he used PrEmium stainless staples!

 

[B&BGaryC]

I had to clean a room of shag that was cut into 1X6 strips, all different colors and staggered all about. It was for a fire job. Why they didn't just pitch it is beyond me. Most of the strips were loose. Took forever to clean.

 

[Jimmy L]

Was he a nice guy?

 

[Jim Martin]

Was he a nice guy?

Real friendly guy...He owns his own welding shop and is going to hook me up with a step the length of my side door to help get in and out...

 

[Jim Martin]

so what about the carpet


the dude probably has a 5 thousand dollar to die for LCD TV

I don't think you could ask for a better carpet to have a super bowl party on

LOL ..he does have a huge LCD..down stairs..and the room with the patch quilt carpet was a huge add on.... ( that came out real nice) with a spiral staircase that he built to get up to the room..above his garage ....all that work and then he puts that down......

 

[Chris A]

everybody runs out of money at some point

 

[Jim Martin]

he sure spent a lot in staples...

 

[adamh]

That is the nicest quilt I have ever seen.

Sorry boys, somebody already beat us too it. Now you could purchas such a map, cut it out and then do a glue direct inlay, that would be pretty cool. We have done them with looney toon characters or other cartoon figurines in doctor's office.

Brings back memories of Bane Clene, Clene Times. What was it again, a mechanics bay plastered with carpet samples?

I call that the Schoeny Step, while you are at it, put a handrail off the end of your hose reel too, makes it real nice to step up into the truck, almost like they should have came that way.

He is the one that gave me the idea...I can't put a handle on the hose reel because that is where my solution line reels are hung..so I can just grab on of those.....But I will put one on the box to the right of the roll up door.....

Did s master BR years ago that was all different carpet samples, it was soooo purdy!

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Is this guy married?

 

[Jim Martin]

Yes and has kids...

 

[hogjowl]

His wife must be blind.

Stapled carpets are the norm in all of our rolling homes down here.
