Re: Air-O carpet
No one could sneak up my stairs on me.
Easy on the knees, ey? The problem I see is a manufacturer taking some of the skills and labor required for installation out to promote their product. Putting more money toward the product and less to the mechanic. That is what I have experienced with maintenance-free siding and trim going from aluminum to vinyl. With vinyl they make pre-fab window trim (lineals), eliminating the need to be skilled at break work. Anyone can handle the siding where the aluminum took a special touch. Now more people install their own vinyl and same with general contractors/carpenters who wouldn't touch the aluminum. A lot of crappy vinyl siding put up on houses, but too late for a skilled professional once installed. It's no longer seen as a specialty. Anyone can do it
