梯间曲里拐弯的一块。共计360s.f.
计划了2个周末，包括测量，预算等等。跑了n次homedepot和lowes，基本定下来就在两家
中的一家买，用我刚刚学会买来的GC。
俺们比较穷，当然预算月低越好。正犹豫要不要让他们帮忙安装，随口提了一句“we are

楼梯，租什么样的工具等等。搞得我好感动，真是象他们自己所说的：you can do it,
we can help.
后来我和老公就回家，三下五除二把旧地毯除了，买了padding铺好，再到homedepot 和
lowes比较到底买那家的地毯。 刚巧lowes有个special order carpet 20% off的
promotion,就在lowes买了地毯。
现在就等地毯到货，铺上了。。。
一共可能就花500刀的样子吧。等铺好了再来汇报。。。 | b******n

Lowes. Haven't figured out how to pick it up. We may just put it on top of

. But according to my LG, he said he can lift one piece each time on his
shoulder. He already got a feeling about the weight of the carpet when we
threw away the old on |
