As the grab for properties in the design district intensifies, do you think this will spread up to Little Haiti in years to come?

In a 1970 building, the rugs and underlay were the sound dampening.

@Lou Ruggieri,alternative thinking:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-exterior grade carpet : because you are up north/cold floors; if flooded, can be taken out, disinfected and hosed out, dried out, replace backalternative thinkhing2:-clean basement floor to perfection-waterproof membrane/ couple layers of exterior grade paint (encapsulate any asbestos dust)-treated 1x1 (as "ribs"/"joists")-lay exterior grade plywood/ost on top of it-floating floor on top of that: preferred here is Allure LVP from home depot, but many available from reputable manufacturers; probably floor needs to be rated for under grade/basementsortile everything and provide rugs + non-slip underpads

Owner can always put down an area rug.

We stage ours lightly with curtain sheers, hand towels, rugs, silk plants, no furniture.

Be prepared to demand shoes off at all times, and I highly recommend walk rugs/area rugs for ALL high traffic areas.YouTube is your friend.If you think you've bought enough sand paper, double it.  

Do you mean the rug?

She's upset that the 2nd floor tenants apparently tossed the wreath she put on the door into the street, and tossed a rug she had in the hallway into the street (they share an entrance way). 

I am on the No Cats Ever bandwagon also because I used to own one that would let us know she had a urinary tract infection by peeing the most god awful smelling pee on the bathroom rug.
