Q:i recently had a basement flood which covered the floor in 4 inches of water.After using two pond vacuum's, and a carpet shampoo and water extractor, the carpet and the pad are still wet. I would love to get the same carpet as i had. They do not have it on the Abbey carpet site anymore...HERE IS THE CARPET THAT WE HAD.

If its not on the Abbey site there are only 2 reasons for this.. The carpet is no longer made and discontinued or who ever you bought the carpet from has private labeled the carpet so no one shopping for an Abbey carpet ( or any thing else in their store) won t be able to cross shop and price compare. Big box stores are know to do this and some mom and pop stores. I never did. Now a suggestion.. Pull up the carpet and the pad. The pad is probably ruined. The carpet is more often than now salvageable if you can get it to dry. Or get a professional carpet cleaner in to vac out the carpet. they may be able to pull out enough water and along w/ fans and a dehumidifier, you may be able to save it. Most home owners policy's cover flood damage, its worth a call. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

I desire i might desire to deliver you a image of the little handbags I made for my granddaughters this previous Christmas. I recycled an old pair of my denims and my husband’s denims to create them. I’m no longer a seamstress. First and a lot maximum i'm a recycler who tries to apply what I even have reachable. So with that being suggested, right here’s my step-by utilising-step training on the form you may additionally stitch a recycled denim handbag. I used only one pant leg for the physique of the bag and the different pant leg to make the straps. I coated the bag with some fairly fabric. degree 14” from the hem and mark it. decrease out the backside of the jean leg. the backside beginning could be the precise of the hand bag, only turn it the different way up. Hem the backside of the handbag. Then degree the dimensions and width of handbag and make a trend out of old paper. Use this for the liner. Lay out your trend on the fabric, decrease out and stitch up like a sack. Take back pocket off of denims, attempt to no longer unfastened the sewn look of the threads. Hand stitch pocket onto handbag. “you are able to beautify the pocket later with iron on plant existence, pink hankie protruding of pocket, etc. decrease the strap strips that are 4-a million/2? huge by utilising 29? long each and each till now sewing. Then stitch them and swap them wonderful part out. Then precise-stitch alongside the the two edges on the straps. Pen the straps on interior part seam of handbag. Pin lining interior handbag and stitch lining and straps all on the comparable time. I used a pink paisley fabric for my lining. the ladies enjoyed them. They suggested what made them so particular replace into that they got here from their grandparents denims :o) They enjoyed them.

Q:I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment building. While attempting to do laundry earlier today, I didn't notice that my washer never shut off.. So it kept filling until I noticed my dining room/kitchen room were flooded. I immediately shut the water off. The neighbors below came to my door stating that the water had leaked into their apartment. The question im having is quot;Is it necessary to have the carpet replaced?quot; I have a two year old, and after doing some research I learned that mold could build up, which is something I dont want.Also when the maintenance people came they tracked my carpet with mud and who knows what else when trying to fix my washer.My apartment wont just give me new carpet so Im trying to get some advice in whether or not I should fight for new carpet.

it is standard practice to dry and then clean carpet that has been soaked with water. but if it is really soaked they need to suck all the water out and then put special carpet drying fans under the carpet. what are they doing ? you did not tell us. and i guess it is their washer supplied with the apt and not yours correct ?

Q:We bought our house 2 months ago. We didn't mind the carpet. It is very nice carpet. However, the house was built in 1955 and has origional hardwood floors under the carpet. Here is the problem... it looks like there are hardwoods, a new sub floor and the carpet. My concern is that removing the sub floor will ruin the floors under. What has your expirance been?

After having just removed the carpeting in my house, I can tell you this: if they put a subfloor on top of hardwood, there was something wrong with the hardwood. It is not necessary in order to lay carpet. Padding and tack boards are all that are needed--which really don't ruin the hardwood. (You may want to fill a few nail holes from the tack strips.) Lots of houses have hardwood that is only finished around the edges--if you pull up the subfloor and find unfinished board flooring, that's one reason they laid the subfloor. Another reason might be that there was bad damage to the hardwood which made it uneven. A finished hardwood floor rarely needs subfloor for carpeting unless it is damaged or otherwise totally unusable as hardwood flooring. Since your house was built in 1955, it could have very badly damaged floors. There is only one way to check that--pull up the carpet in a corner, and the subfloor under that--and check. If the floors are not damaged, then the only damage will be from nail holes--which can be filled, sanded and revarnished.
