I don't think the pic of the one piece black rubber backed carpet mat you cut to size is in this thread, but how do you like it?

 

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I was also thinking it may be a bit large and that might be a pain to keep clean vs. a couple smaller carpets, that you can easily shake off and do a quick sweep.

It is over in low cost mods. I carry a scrub brush for the carpet, not hard to clean off. I have small carpet sample in the door way that I can shake off. 

 

Edit I really liked the rubber backing when the floor got we and the carpet stayed dry.

This is amazing Bill!  Great work!

 

Question, i didnt see covered....

 

I keep going back and forth with which way i am going to do mine.  Cant decide between built, or a shell and building it myself.

 

One thing that im concerned with is plumbing the gas...

 

I plan to order with a furnace, regardless,,,   Can the line to the furnace just be Teed into to run another line to the stove?

 

Also, ive read many places the area to cut holes in these to run the fills and drains out the side is basically a guessing game.  Truth?

 

Thanks

Kevin

Kevin, yes you can tee into the gas line for other appliances.

You’ll need to ensure it’s done properly so there are no gas leaks.

What Sagebrush said. I have the equipment and background to run the gas lines not that hard to do. Get some bubble solution to check all your joints. If you don't have one, get a propane detector and remember they have a limited life of about 5 years. They will start beeping when too old.

Perfect! Thank you!
