Carpet replacement question

[Richard Hayden]

Wow Ron. I've seen that in the house but not in a BB WL. But, my point was
that BB put an excellent grade of carpet in these coaches. On our last coach,
'81FC31'SB it was kind of a orangeish redish and we always wanted to change it
but didn't. Someone before me had painted it with the standard BB
blue-silver-dark gray and the carpet didn't match. Oh well. The new owner
wasn't bothered and must be happy since I've never heard from him.

Not always true Richard. There are particular spots that are prone to
excessive wear, making the replacement necessary. I have that
condition now, where the carpet terminates at the tile floor in the
galley. The carpet has frayed badly there.

People just get tired of the color and want something different.
