YOU give the installer the LOWES 'WILL CALL' ticket.. or... meet them at Lowes. .......they will use removeable glue for an additional TWO pictures of Andrew Jackson. ( based on the average 240 sq.ft. lanai) This carpet is TOUGH...( I have some on my garage floor). You can even pressure wash OLEFIN if you so desire...even spill bleach on it...NO problem....AND....IF every 2 years "LA REINA" needs to CHANGE the color scheme on the lanai, this carpet is EASILY changed out to the new "bi-annual" color choice.... INFO..... 'La Reina' is Spanish for 'The Queen' ...(that's why I call my darling wife 'La Reina').
Loved this post and as soon as I stop laughing, I'll try and explain why bi-annual color is a good thing.....
