- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
while I was a salesmen at Carpet Giant the owner bought a 24ft x24ft carpet deco it came with other carpets that he got from a competitor that retired so I had them roll it out so I could see how it looked. It was very colorful but yet hideous ! Lol ! I thought no one is ever going to sell this thing ! About 3 months later I got a call to Galveston to see The order of the Scottish rite They wanted to re-carpet there order meeting area where they have there ceremony's this is a very regal room with lots colors and they wanted something that was different so I told them about the deco carpet and they weren't going for it but they hadn't seen it either so I gambled and had it delivered with no charge and had my guys roll it out in the chamber It was just meant for that room , it's the most beautiful job I have ever sold in my life ! Nothing can ever compare to the magic that carpet brought to that room and I still stop bye there and show my friends that room and they just are left speechless how beautiful and colorful that room is!!
