It has enabled us to replace small stained or worn sections without having to replace the whole carpet. When I was at Georgetown Public and we had a water pipe break, it made it easy to dry out. We just pulled up the tiles, leaned them up against the building in the sun, and let them drain and dry (of course it was a relatively small section).    Unfortunately I'm not sure how much overage to calculate. We purchased a lot of extra with the idea of using it when we expanded into another area of the building. As it turns out, it's been long enough that when we finally do renovate we'll probably recarpet that floor anyway, so we're using what we were saving for that to take care of bad spots in the carpet. I would bet that a carpet vendor could tell you how much you need though.   Judy Judy Duer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Temple (TX) Public Library 100 W.

Thank you. Peg Fleet Director Copperas Cove Public Library 501 South Main St. Copperas Cove, TX 76522 254-547-3826/1863 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
