Carpet Section

Dec 25, 2006 6 Replies

My son burned a section of our carpet (long story). The section is pretty small; no larger than 5 in. x 5 in. I do not have any extra pieces of carpet from when they installed the carpet originally. How much would it cost to have someone come out and replace a section that size? Obviously, they would have to somehow find a match to the color/type of carpet. It is a pretty common carpet (for Southern California).

Even if it is common, they would have a hard time matching the color because of the wear. You might be able to cut out a small piece of the carpeting that is hidden, like in a closet, and patch it that way. For five inches, I would do it yourself. You should be able to get some double stick tape. Check with a local carpet installer. I am sure they could advise you.

I'm adding your story to my long list of reasons not to have kids.

For which the rest of us in the gene pool thank you.

Now if only YOUR parents had that philosophy, the world would be a more pleasant place.

This is good news for the gene pool though, when someone stupid enough to say things like this chooses not to procreate!

Plus tax.
