This will be our next DIY project as we just finished painting the outside....Does anyone have any tips, favorite brands or just comments on replacing the old carpetting with new? It is 17 ft. by 6 ft. plus the stairs.
Thanks in Advance...

I love the Hercules hooks, but I bought them from QVC last year, so don't know if the ones 'As seen on TV' are as strong or made of the same metal.....I also live in a Fleetwood, I have several mirrors & pictures as well as a heavy wrought iron decorative piece hanging on those hooks with never ...
