I'm remodeling a house on a tight budget. All the carpet needs replaced and I was wondering if anyone has bought carpet from Ollie's Bargain Outlet? If you have, is it a good choice and will it last a long time? I was also looking at Lowes carpeting. A good friend of mine told me that Lowes carpeting isn't very good in the long run. Has anyone had any problems with it? (I'm installing the carpet on my own if that makes a difference)

We have a carpet business in my family.. and if you get to see and feel the carpet a good way to tell the quality- the softer the underside of the carpet- the better. Personally I'd go with Ollie's over Lowes carpeting and no matter where you go, it really only lasts 7 years before either looking dingy or needing to be restreched, do you know how to install carpet? just asking because I can give you pointers if you dont. some people just kind of lay it in there instead of putting down the tack board and stretching it, or seaming it properly. and no matter where you get it from, make sure you get padding for underneath, if you're going to be living there, you'll regret it if you dont, makes a world of difference even on the cheapest carpets. that's all. thanks!
Hogd NEVER start learning a trick on grass or carpet. By doing this makes learning a trick even more extremely difficult because: 1. If you get too used to the carpet, you will be too afraid to try it on pavement. (which happened to you, and sorry, skate parks aren't made of carpet.) 2. you won't get the entire feel of the trick by doing it on carpet. It is good sometimes to to a trick on carpet when your first learning the trick, but only stay on the carpet a couple minutes, don't get too used to the carpet, only practice the trick on the carpet once or twice, then go straight to pavement. P.S Don't ever give up, try the trick on pavement, and if your still afraid, try putting safety equipment on when trying to ollie, so you feel more secure. Ryan.
