But, PLEASE note this: if either of you have any sort of breathing problem, your situation may be exacerbated by your carpets. "Stuff" tends to settle into carpets, and may bother folks!
A number of friends who are challenged breathers have determined that wood/laminate and/or tile makes for a more friendly atmosphere. Most have ripped up the Villages-standard capeting and replaced it with wood, laminate and/or tile.
And, I've observed that any of the three are generally one h*** of a lot easier to maintain!

If you have any type of allergies, put in laminate or tile and forget the carpet. I found out the hard way about living in a humid area and rugs.
