man...you're whipped!
now allow me to give you a woman's perspective (at least THIS woman's anyway):
we got new carpet recently. from menard's. had a buddy of the husband install it. living/dining area carpeted for roughly $400. i didn't give a rats patootie how much it cost/didn't cost, where we got it from, & the first color we both saw was the one we got.

One thing most don't know is that I do actually have an occupation, of sorts.
I buy apartment buildings, usually run-down ones, usually small ones, (3-5 units, typically) and rehab them, get occupants and leases, and then re-sell the building. I do 99% of the work myself. (I'm out of the business for about a one year sabbatical, but that is what I do)
Through volume and relationships with suppliers, I have been able to purchase enough carpet and padding for 1300 bucks to do an entire friggin' apartment, installed...professionally. My wife obviously knows this, but that is "builder-grade" carpet, and she wouldn't even entertain talking to one of my suppliers... Hey, don't ask me- I just work here. lol
