I had these photos shared with me from a cleaner that learned repair work and I thought I should share them with all here. I will let his words explain the repair he did and what I thought was good was his enthusiasm and his willingness to work on it and make it happen. I hope all enjoy. I tried to enlarge the photos to be able to see them better so they have lost a little clarity but they were pretty small to see otherwise.
Steve,
It's been a while. But have I got a story for you. I attatched some pictures of the repair. One of our customers has This original Karistan Oriental rug past down from generations. She said is is over 150 years old. She put a plant on it and forgot to put the protective plate under it. Over time as she watered it the water, of course, ran through. She finally noticed it and moved the plant. Then she moved the rug and it fell apart, crumbled. She screamed HELP. Confident in her eyes but nervous in mine I attempted to repair the rug. The pictures should explain the rest. The final repair picture hides the repair pretty good. Let me know if you can find it. I thought you could use these in the future. Not meaning to be big headed about it, but I am proud of this one!!!
here are the photos he sent with this repair
Great job and great example.
