About

Hello.  my name is Steve.  I am a retired plumber and a blogger.  In my spare time, I find topics that interest me and I write about them.   I recently decided to go on a redecoration spree, where I ran into a couple of hundred area rugs.  While searching for the perfect ones for my house, I remembered that my dad bought an area rug for his breakfast nook and it frayed in less than three years.  He replaced it with one that began fading almost immediately from the sunlight that shines through the windows in the nook.

I have purchased area rugs before, but nothing special.  I wanted some nice ones this time (after all, I am retired, I deserve it, right?).  In this blog, you will get the benefits of my research.  What did my dad do wrong with those two purchases?  What lessons did I learn from my research?  You will find out here!

There is going to be a lot of information on this site, so I will do my best to make it easy to find the information that you are looking for.  If you can’t find something, leave a comment on one of the posts or use the contact form, and I will answer your question as quickly as I can.

Take care,

Steve
