We had a nice visit with dd and the kids. I got one report I need to do expenses printed off before she came and I just printed the reports I needed from dh for the trip expenses.
I looked at the carpet order and the wrong underpad was ordered for the living room (not cushion) and the wrong size for the dining room (8' x 10' to go under a 9.5 x 13 carpet.) He assured us that the non-slip underpad only had to be 75% of the carpet size. Everything I read said 1" to 1.5" from the edge of the carpet (not 1.5' as he proposed and to make matters worse, that's a high-traffic area.) Even if he was right, he's arithmetically challenged because the pad he sold us was only 65% of the carpet size. Now I'm really angry he's getting commission since 1) I picked the carpets, he never got up from his chair to serve us and 2) buying from an 'expert' appears to be useless. I'm sure I'm being overcharged as well. I had to argue for no delivery charge but I think he just padded the underpadding instead since those aren't the prices he told us, nor is available from their website.
That's supposedly fixed now. We'll see.
I should get back to work but I'm distracted by wind and swirling brain waves.
