You mean.........removing the original ? Because it's glued in and hard to remove ?

I think he was just commenting on the durability of the carpet. It's not very difficult to remove, though... Just grab a loose corner and pull. I painted my cuddy with bilge paint just because I thought the 30 year old carpet had run its course.

Edited for spelling...

I'm tempted to be a smarta$$ and ask how much it bulged after you painted it, but I won't.

carpet? i thought it was llama skin

Llama skin on the walls and ceiling. Brown astro-turf type carpet on the floor beneath the cushions. I took it all out and it looks, smells, and feels a lot cleaner in there now, but not very aesthetically satisfying to the wife. But its not like anybody spends any time in there.
