Oh, the first thing I did when I moved into this
apartment was peel back all the carpeting and see if there was any usable floor
underneath. Luckily, in the bedroom there was decent wood floor, so I was able
to toss the carpet in that room. The office has a very thin indoor/outdoor type
of carpet with no padding over industrial tile, and the cats don't seem to
like to pee on it (if they do, I'll take the carpet out). The livingroom is an
issue, under it, is plain plywood, and it has, literally, about 5000 nails all
across the entire floor. it would LOOK HORRIBLE if I pulled up the carpet. Since
I rent, I'm not going to sink a ton of money into adding nice flooring myself,
so we just deal with spots as they occur in there. That's why I paid a
deposit.... :)

Hee, hee! I've even gone to the extent of removing all of the carpet in the house and replacing with ceramic tile/laminate wood flooring (I highly recommend the Armstrong's edition made exclusively for Lowe's...withstands spills and cat claws peeling out at 100 miles and hour)...and the rugs are the cheap berber/industrial rugs that you can pick up at Walmart for $30 (they don't seem to be as comfortable to pee on and withstand claw sharpening)...two mottos at our house: "if it can't be ruined, we don't buy it" and "we can't have anything nice!" :) |
