I have a 1990 Jimmy that I have been parting out to keep my s10 on the road.
Well I have decided to pull the engine. I don't Think I will ever need it

Horns are amazing, hard to perfect, but they can take a 4 inch speaker and

I think you have answered your own question with regards to type of floor

products available, you can always replace the flooring in your home.

One thought here when ever you see carpet covering hard wood flooring, is
what are they trying too cover here, what are they trying to hide. Maybe
nothing. Maybe they were just tired of hard wood floors, are maybe there is
more to it. Just hard to say, but worth thinking about. Don

You need not have a raised floor to have wood flooring. My house sits on a
concrete pad with various rooms having ceramic tile, vinyl flooring, wood,
and wall-to-wall carpeting. It is easier to navigate on the vinyl and wood
floors with the use of strategically placed runners and small area rugs.
