Can someone fix the picture Zep linked? I guess my firewall at work is blocking his hosting service. I'd love to see it.

Zep, I didn't know what a quote would be to prep and do the work but glad to hear it isn't as high as I thought.

Thanks for advice from others.

Did anyone go with these rubber sheets that lay down and interlock and cover the whole floor?

Jimsplace, do you have links to the type of throw/shake out rugs you are talking about?
