coach joe posted:My wife and I just bought a "ranch" style house. I had been hoping for a spare room over the garage for the trains bit things didn't work out that way so the trains will be going into a spare bedroom. The six year old carpets are showing signs of use and wear so we're planning on changing them before we get everything moved in. I figure the new layout to be an around the wall with maybe an isthmus sticking out into the middle. I'm trying to decide if we should go with new carpet, easier on the feet and adds some sound dampening, or hardwood, no potential settling and ease of moving layout away from walls if necessary. Any opinions would be welcome.
coach joe.
I wish you well in your new home mate.
I have had commercial carpet in my train room now for at least 40 years sure there are a few marks and the old cat peed on it in a couple of places but who looks at the floor. It'll still be there when they carry me out in a body bag. I have to tell you the house like most in West Australia are built on concrete slabs. we live in a sandy place no dirt. Roo.
