Question re your post:One day over the weekend I might be laying some granite design foam mats I got to replace the carpet that was ripped out with the flood (no more carpeting in the basement for me). Got enough for a 20x20 section to see how it looks before going all out. 14 yr old carpet, plywood flooring ( manufactured home)-- would that work as a replacement for the carpet? 14 year old carpet is newer than anything I have, and I think would work fine, but I would consider also installing carpet padding/underlay. It does two things, it gives a little more cushioning, but more important it protects the carpet from wearing away against the wood floor under use. I would go with the cheapest you can find and I think you can get is as cheap as $.50 sq/ft. Or you can do what I did for one section of the basementβ¦ There is a carpet place right next door to where I work. They have a dumpster out back where contractors throw the carpeting they take out before installing the new. Look for some good ones. Mine was actually new padding the carpet place was getting rid of because it was for a customer that wouldnβt pay. Got new carpet there for the same reason. After a while the carpet places clean house and throw these customer defaults or refusals away. You can always ask the carpet place to let you know when they are throwing these things out.

neesy, I didn't get a card. The postal service here has been terrible these last couple months. Tractor trailers filled and packed with mail just sitting there because so many postal workers are out with Covid related issues. I'm fighting with my credit card company who didn't get my check for over a month after I sent it off and they shut down my account and raised the rate. I'm still getting stuff sent out before Xmas.

That sucks - I mailed it quite early on December 8th
Fingers crossed it gets to you eventually smilie_wet_162
