Like what are you looking for? - Will Hunting Dec 8, 12:53 13
- The list keeps growing, but the two I'm trying to price at the moment are - ty97 Dec 8, 12:55 5
  - angie's list ask your new neighbors ask at your church or other social list, lowes is my pref over hd -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 8, 13:03
  - Make sure you have the condo painted BEFORE you replace the carpet. - TWuG Dec 8, 13:02
  - Those are hard to guess. You can get free estimates though. If I was guessing I'd guess $750-1500 for the carpeting and around $1500 for the paint. -- nm - pmb Dec 8, 13:02 2
    - That's what I was thinking, as well. Carpet can be had inexpensively if you skimp on the padding. - TWuG Dec 8, 13:04 1
      - I've seen the difference between cheap padding and good padding. I'll spend (some) money on better padding. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 13:05
- Right. I don't hate HD, but Lowes is definitely preferable if that is an option. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 8, 12:54 6
  - The Lowes is in an area of town I don't know at all, in a direction I never go. - ty97 Dec 8, 12:57
  - Lowes is to Home Depot as Target is to WalMart - Will Hunting Dec 8, 12:55 4
    - i would go with a wards/sears compare but then remembered sear is just kmart now -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 8, 13:07 2
      - And there aren't anymore Montgomery Wards any more (are there?) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 13:11 1
        
        dee tales berrrnard, dee tales -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 8, 13:16
    - Yup -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 12:56
General rule: Enter home depot. Spend $200 minimum -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 12:53 1
- I'm thinking more of the 'pay someone to come do stuff to my place' stuff. - ty97 Dec 8, 12:54
