Tools of the Trade: Sample Booklet

Show me a successful carpet man without a reliable sample booklet and I’ll show you a liar… by holding up a mirror in front of your face (but not in a mean way). Like the Kraken,* both are myths. A carpet man needs a booklet. Period.



*In this case I'm referring to the mythical creature the Kraken. My buddy who's a lawyer wanted me to put this in here so no one would confuse it with any products or services like say an energy drink or malt liquor or something. Granted, the guy went to law school online but he’s rarely wrong about this stuff.

My gift to you. (contd.)

“To lay down carpet is to lay down foundations of prosperity, comfort, and
decreased foot noise for downstairs neighbors, if applicable.”
-S. Daniel Shantytown, Carpeter (circa 1963)

“I will carpet the globe.”
-Rick Bulifant, Carpeter (circa just now)

My gift to you.

Having been hand-picked by the carpeting and flooring bigwigs to represent the company at the Sydney Carpet Show, I figured it was time to open the knowledge chamber and let a little of what I’ve been stockpiling and fine-tuning all these years spill out a little.
World, I give you my blog.
