[Rhodes22-list] Flooring and Shelving/also Rug replacement

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Bob,
This sounds like a neat installation.  Some may want to replace/place a new rug atop the cabin sole.  I just had one made up, shaped to conform to the floor, including a hole for the table mount.  The edges are stitched and the rug has a nice fresh look.  If there is any interest I can follow-up.
