My place is wall-to-wall carpet. Laid down about 30 years ago. At the door to my bedroom a worn trail was developing in the wall-to-wall. Ugly. On a pass thru Wallymart I spotted an area rug, just the right size, only $18. Nice color match. So I bought it. Now to lay it. The bookcase full of DVD's and VHS tapes had to be moved. Loaded it was too heavy for me to lift and move. I had to unload half of it. Now the rug lay down nicely, it fit just right. But, the door would not move. I had to remove the door, jack ass it downstairs to the shop, and saw 3/16's off the bottom with my skill saw. To get the door to lay flat enough to saw I had to remove the door handles. Arrgh. So, jack ass the trimmed door back up stairs. And now the hinges did not want to go back together. Much hammering, prying and cussing later I got a pry bar under the door and heaved up. That did it, the hinges slide together and the hinge pins went back in with only slight persuasion from a ball peen hammer. At this point it was 5 PM, I was exhausted. Time for a drink. Next morning I put all the DVDs back on the bookcase.
The door, loose, right for the shop.
The door going down the basement stairs.
The area rug installed.
