My dream for the house had always been new wall-to-wall
carpet. This seemed luxurious, yet essential to me. I’ve spent a good deal of
my life on the floor - writing, drawing, playing guitar, sleeping off a bender –and
quality carpeting had padded my cheeks through these low-level adventures in my
youth. So I was spoiled. Forget fixing the faulty plumbing, the gas leak, or
the refrigerator that sometimes catches fire. I wanted new carpet.
