Hi Barney et alia,
I bow to your greater knowledge Barney, and looking at the area this
morning I see that it curves around behind the locked door where
really carpet should be... So a tough carpet seems to be the best
choice. HOWEVER, may we have some sort of mat between the entrance
(leaving room for the door to open which is flush with the floor) and
the corner where the carpet starts? I suggest a non-slip rubber one
would be good (remember Pirelli used to make one) and would help clean
the soles of those filthy shoes coming straight in off William St.
Best,
Di
