The man from the carpet warehouse came yesterday to measure up. At the end he said "Don't take up the gripper rods - they can be re- used". I told him that in the two previous houses where we'd recarpeted we'd been told to take up the old gripper rods. He said it was a waste of money - they can perfectly well be reused.
I don't want to spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar (not that the rods would cost anything like a ha'porth) but is he right?
Edward
yes he is
If you do insist on taking them up re-cycle them, put them on top of your fences, keep the blasted cats, and hopefully, the yobs out!
Assuming they were correctly fitted in the first place and still securely fixed there's nothing to wear out on them.
yup.
They don't cease to be pointy...
Well, that's me told. Thanks.
Edward
Horrid pointy sharp nasty things.............
Indeed... nasty - especially when a little rusty!
