[Magdalen] Rent.

My Michigan Cape Cod-style home was carpeted that way after WW2 (and
some of the carpeting seemed to date from that era, although it
couldn't really have been THAT old), so it was almost like a gift to
be able to pull up a corner and see the well-protected hardwood. I
removed all the carpet in my living room and had it refinished; this
plus having the small yard relandscaped helped me make a 50% profit on
the sale of the house after seven years. Oh, new roof on the back
addition as well. And Gutter Helmets.
