Carpet Hunt

Oy.  we only made it to two places before we ran out of time this morning.  We started at Lowes.  After a few minutes someone did come "help" us.  After we discussed red we were informed that all the samples are for carpet that is special ordered and won't be in for four and a half weeks.  Then he showed us the wall of what is in stock now....and that is two and a half weeks out for installation.  Wait....what?
I can't even imagine special ordering a 12 by 13 piece of carpeting.  Looked at what was in stock and just weren't interested.  Nothing remotely red.
So we then went to Hazel Dell and stopped at Cascade Flooring.  Now they are the people who helped us with the rental.  Bought the whole house worth of flooring from them.  Five employees in the place and not one acknowledged us.  We got candy out of the candy bowl.  We used the restroom.  We walked to the back of the showroom and no one even saw us.  Amazing. So we left.  I'm sure they didn't care.  Maybe we projected that we are a small job.
Small enough to be a remnant job.  We are still on the hunt.  And it could take us four weeks, but I doubt it.
