[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs

[Marianne]

This might work too.  My sons have rented an office in an old building that 
used to be a factory.  I would like to make a rug of some type for them to 
put on the floor.  I am just having different thoughts about it.  They have 
pulled up several layers of subfloor and lynoleum and are trying to restore 
the original wood floor.  It is really a lot of work.  They have more energy 
than money.  Tonight they were hanging dry wall.  I told them I would help 
sand the dry wall when they are to that point.
