I have several items but they are not on computer. Send me a snail mail

Don't blow your money! Carpet stores give away "scraps" of carpet for FREE!
Some of these "scraps" are over six feet long. 
The method we have always used is first walk around back to the trash bin
and take a peek inside. After you see something in there, then walk in the
store and ask if you can have it. Store clerks give away the stuff much more
readily once it has already hit the bin.
