To save, or not to save, (carpet and vinyl)

[Andrew Faukner]

We just finished getting my new 3/2 SFR ready to rent. We put in new carpet and vinyl, and now we have the leftover carpet and vinyl. I know what I do, I roll them up and put them in a corner of my garage, but then I think I'm a bit of a hoarder. What do you do, save the leftovers in case you need a small repair? Or do you toss the leftovers and plan to replace the flooring in an entire room if there is a problem? Before you ask, yes, in the last 10 years I did have a small section of vinyl replaced when the departing renter ripped the vinyl with an appliance. What do you think?
