Q:I bought this cool wool runner rug at a consignment shop. It is possibly a blended wool with some brown cotton type thread woven in it that extends thoughout and the remains of the thread is the knotted fringes at the end.

The design is typical of the southwestern motif. It's not old at all and it's made in Mexico. They make these kinds of narrow rugs with that kind of border. It's not made in India and it's not a dhurrie. These Mexican rugs are hand loomed and usually a cottage industry rug. Usually women make them at home. It's less than 30 years old.

Q:I have horses aswell, and we always put rugs on them to suit the weather conditions, but never put any rugs on the donkeys. Their coat is thick, but would getting them a rug still be a good idea to keep them warm? Its snowing where I live at the minute, and its meant to be getting even colder soon!

I agree with Janian. They shouldn't need a rug. Donkeys (and horses) can handle cold just fine. What they can't handle is a combination of wet and windy. Then they might need a waterproof blanket, but they should have a shelter to stay dry in anyway. A blanket can actually make them colder by pushing down the fluffy hair, which is meant to insulate them from the cold.

Q:After searching for over a month, I finally found a perfect rug. Unfortunately, I need it in an 8x10 or larger, so now I'm at a loss. Does anyone know of a rug that looks like this one?

Q:I had roofs leaks in my 2 bedrooms (hurricane related) and filed an insurance claim. they covered replacing the carpet in the 2 bedrooms but NOT replacing the hallway and stairs' carpet because that was not damaged. The carpet is 10+ years old so of course i am replacing it all. I think it should be consider all one item, they say that because there is a 'break' between the room and the hallway, their practice is to only replace the damaged carpet -- though this is not defined in the policy. The new carpet is totally diff color. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have total replacement cost and it is State farm.

Q:I don't have a stitch of carpet in my house, but my floors always seem dirty, even 20 minutes after sweeping. Carpets or flooring, and why?

Well, at the moment it's going to take a LOT of sweeping to get my floors back to their original grey colour- they are covered in silt from the recent floods! We've got bare concrete floors with area rugs. We'd been saving to put down linoleum floors because carpet is an absolute nightmare to clean when a flood comes through! We'd had carpet last lot of floods and just ripped it up because we couldn't get the mud out of it. At least hard floors you can just hose them down!
