spearingboy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 First off I'm glad to see that there's finally a spearing forum. Just wondering how many or if any of you guys carpet the floors on your spearhouses to cut down on the noise? I have a Mankato house and I would like to carpet it with some indoor/outdoor carpet but I'm not sure how it will hold up with the water getting into it and then freezing. Any comments? Thanks.

bassNspear Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Welcome to our new forum.I have a two mankato houses that i use both for spearing. I have placed carpet in both of these houses. There is no reason why a guy should not have carpet in the house. Like you said, it cuts down the sound, but it also will help with heat in the house.I highly recommend placing carpet in the bottom of the floor.

Central Bassman Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Its a must have in your house!!! The carpet will also help from light coming in throw the cracks in the flow. It also makes the house a lot more comfortable to sit in for hour on end!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I've had the same carpet in my mankato for over 20 years. In addition to the above mentioned reasons its also nice to stretch out on and take a nap on those slowwww days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spearingboy Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Thanks for all the responses guys. What types of carpet do you use? Mike89 good to hear from you. I was hoping that you would post on here. I'm living in Osakis right now and am going to school in Alex. We should get together sometime and do some spearing.

bassNspear Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 that is true. I have taken carpet from houses that people take out, and use it. Dont spend the extra money for carpet that you know will be trash in 2 years. Take some that you know that people are going to throw it away.

Wolfpaak Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 One suggestion, If you get the freebie from a removal make sure that no cats or dogs have done thier bussiness on it! Check the back for stains! Don't ask how I know this Later, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
