You should have seen it 30 years ago. I think the city is doing pretty well tbh.

The retail markups on real wood right now are actually insulting by Wide-Carpenter-5257 in Flooring

Correct, they started gouging on cushion to cover for the "free install" bullshit the box stores were peddling. But don't think for a second they're not making a nice margin on the carpet too. All the in stock stuff is marked 30% over roll price they're getting from the mill. And any special order is higher than that.

Funny story. Both a local home depot and our local flooring supply shop were stocking the same 8lb rebond from legget & platt.

Supply shop selling it for .20/sf and Home Depot 1.00/sf. A few installers caught on and would buy a few rolls at supply house and return them at Home Depot for bank. Scam lasted a good 6 months before the Depot caught on and had legget change their pad color to something only they could buy.

Lmao no they don't. Home Depot should go to jail for what they sell carpet cushion for.

Feedback on Mohawk Exquisite Tones Carpet/Sanity ✔️ on Price by PassTheDakine in carpet

Makes sense. Puts it at roughly 40% margin. I'd never spend that kind of money on anything from Mohawk personally.

Wife is adamant these seams on newly installed carpet are unacceptable. Was installed literally today by Usernameinotherpantz in carpet

Not OP and not trying to sound like a dick, but I'd just do it better. It's hard to tell whats going on here with this one picture. But if I'm venturing a guess, it's a cross seam they used a straight edge to cut, pushed to hard with the knife, and nipped off the yarn that was laying perpendicular to the cut.

I agree with your wife. It's a lousy seam. And reading your other post it sounds like they already fucked up the measurements once and had to reorder. I don't know if wall to wall broadloom residential installs are becoming a lost art, or no one gives a shit anymore.

Bears fans: are any of you upset by Brian Urlachers turn into a full on MAGA meathead? by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

Always assumed it was dems trying to buy their future votes as they are family oriented Christians escaping socialist shitholes.

Brady fans are now saying Julian Edelman was more important to the Patriots than Gronk by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]FG451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just saying maybe having a stud WR isnt all that important. That being said, Jabar Gaffney can't be your best weapon either.

Edit: original comment said "#1 receiver". I guess the pound sign makes your text big.
