Thanks, Jillayne. I missed that. Not too much of a surprise.

I actually made a little effort to postpone replacing our disgusting, disintegrating carpet with hardwoods.

I may still have gotten more experience, but I doubt they have come down in price yet. I did get a small concession from one bidder, but that was it.
