Their job is, quite literally, to roll out the carpeting. I watched as this unfolded.

Or if the tub overflowed by accident and damaged the carpeting.

As far as carpeting, sure it holds junk more than hardwood or tile, etc. But nobody's saying these folks should shag out their floors.

I have a serious medical issue and I did stuff like remove carpeting without my landlord's permission. I knew it was coming.

It's super quiet because there are bookshelves full of books to absorb any noise, as well as thick 1970-era carpeting. It's the most productive place I've ever worked.

Had the same conclusion with regard to carpeting in a commercial property where a small amount of entrance hall carpet was glued down.

Water isn't cleaning the fecal bacteria off the toothbrush you keep in the same room as your toilet, your wall-to-wall carpeting is full of food crumbs that roaches love, etc.

My basement was only sealed when I moved in; it now resembles a construction site as I am partitioning it off into various rooms, adding walling, carpeting, electrical, so-on. This is my home and I make it the way I want to live.

The entire GNU project is like a house that looked so mod in 1971, but now has peeling paint, stained concrete, shag carpeting that smells pretty funky, and a crazy old relative that haunts the place. "Renovation" is changing the light bulbs and occasionally washing the stucco.

Their modern facade of bright colors and "hip" furniture doesn't conceal the fluorescent lights, low ceilings, and berber carpeting. Imagine the opposite - 20-foot ceilings, lots of natural sun light, and hardwood floors - and you can feel it's much more conducive for working.

I ask them if they want hardwoods or carpeting. Usually the house example helps the client understand that he/she is asking an impossible question and they then are more comfortable going into specifics about their idea so I can get then a fair estimate.

We recently started looking at new carpeting and when the guy came to do measurements he commented on the Dyson: "That vacuum will shorten the life of your carpet faster than your kids."

At some point, I was evicted from my apartment, not due to inability to pay but because I had done things like removed carpeting without permission because that made more sense than staying ill.
