Let's talk flooring!
Linoleum rug repair--How to ship.
I received a call from a gal in the LA area who had a custom lino 'rug' made for her about 12 years ago. Evidently there is no one around that can (or is willing) to do that type of work. She said the man who did it was older when he did the job for her. She said it was damaged when some one tried to roll it up. She wants it repaired.
How would you suggest shipping it to Boise from LA? She said it is about 5' X 7'.
Maybe like a large piece of art in a frame. In a 5X7 flat wooden box?
She's supposed to be emailing me pics of the damage. I sounds as though it may be adhered to a piece of vinyl. When it was rolled up some of the pieces started releasing.

Sounds like a good idea Barry, art frame is expensive though. Boxes get smashed

A short run custom box maker can make an acceptable shipping container to protect it. It might take a little looking, but I am sure there is someone in L.A. If not, I have an associate in Dallas TX that could ship it to her empty and she could send it to you. His Email is andrew.glaspell@boxsourceone.com

Thank you.
She has decided to pursue a replication instead of a repair. So shipping will be on my end only. I have an artist friend who recommended a shipping company here in Boise for odd sized and shaped pieces. He has shipped his pieces all over the world with this company.
Funny you should reply when you did, I called this morning and am awaiting an estimate.
