re: #366 MandyManners

I don’t get that, either, unless the previous carpet was utterly destroyed and the HOA required a fence.

I don’t know about the state of the carpet before replacing but the fence was definitely not a must. We have one the few fences in the subdivision. I felt a bit uncomfortable buying a house that was taken from another family but my husband told me I needed to get over that. He is much more practical than I am ;-)
