Yep, I used carpeting torn out of my old business when they re-carpeted. No pad or anything, but it REALLY helped. The floor I have was actually built to be a dojo floor, and cost me about $400. It's 2x4's with plywood on top and then varnished. But originally I just had carpet and that was a 100% improvement over concrete. <br /> <br />If it's for your grandson, I say definitely go for it! My son fondly remembers my layout, even though I never completed it and it had little scenery. That's why I'm still building. He's 10, and wants to take our layouts to the shows at the local shopping malls. One other thing. My current layout is built in 18" x 6 foot sections. They are light, and I can take them inside to work on things when it's cold, then bring them back out. This makes the layout portable too. MR has had lots of articles about dominoes, LDEs and building a layout this way. Maybe it would work for you. <br />
