Can anyone help me find replacement rugs for our flooded home?

Aug 8, 2010 6:36 AM

Well our city doesn't fix things until after it is too late just like all forms of government, so our yard is completely underwater because water is flowing from a blocked culvert over a street into our yard and down our hill and it flooded our basement, our neighbors who we usually are annoyed by came outside at midnight just to help us barricade our house and seal any leaks to prevent further flooding and divert water. The question is that our workshop had rugs on the cement floor for recreational purposes and such and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where to find cheap rugs, any major outlets? Thanks for the help!

How cheap is cheap? You don't specify the size. What state, please? (You can always send me a PM if you don't want to say where in public.)

Sears. Target. Krogers (some of these, like the ones that used to be Fred Meyers, have more than just groceries). Walmart (just guessing, since I don't go to Walmart, but it seems like they would).

I would go to the local consignment and antique stores. I know that I see area rugs in some of the stores I go to, and can't see why that wouldn't be universal. When you say ruined, are you sure? I've used the large commercial washers on such rugs, and had very happy results.

Flor Tiles. They come in all sorts of patterns, thicknesses, and colors.

I have ordered a couple of rugs from overstock.com (always checking reviews first), and for a couple of hundred dollars for 9 x 12, my lr and dr both look really well. A lot of people ask about where did I get the orientals.

I was just at Target today, and they have all of their indoor/outdoor rugs on clearance. I saw a couple nice looking ones, around 5' x 7' or so, not 100% sure on that, but they were about $35.

Depending on the type of carpet you are looking for don't forget the Remnants section of the Carpet Store, you can find some nice sized pieces there, sometimes they also throw stuff that has been discontinued there too or is too small to carpet a room but might fit a space.

Depending on where you live, you might want to see if you can file a claim with the city to get reimbursed for any damage the blocked culvert has caused. This would include the cost to replace all of the rugs.

I used to work for an independent insurance adjuster and we handled these types of claims for our city.

Make sure you take photos of everything.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
