Sorry for posting under two threads, but I really want an answer! My bride and I spent the day shopping for new carpet for the downstairs, but got talking with a decorator about the eventuality of carpeting upstairs, too. It's all the same age, and we have an open floor plan, so it makes sense to do the same or similar carpet. Simply put, we'll be going from a 12 year old Rose carpet to a yellow to fit our new scheme..... The problem is the open floor plan, and my layout upstairs in what most people would call the game room. I have a 12 X 17 layout of traditional construction, with about 10 2 X 4 legs, sitting on the existing carpet. With plaster mountains, its too heavy to move, I think. Any solutions? Can you jack it up one leg at a time? Carpet around the legs, leaving the next owner with some divots in the carpet? Or just carpet up to the front of the layout, and cover the seam with drapes or whatever, again delaying the problem until we move (or I die, 'cause its too painful to even consider tearing down or moving the layout!)
