Purchasing Carpet is a Nightmare... I used to be the Warehouse man at a Carpet One. First, the wider carpet is usually not in stock at cheap carpet places.

Be sure to locate the wall where it will nail into existing frame boards, both ceiling and wall. What to wat...

I think the writer is talking Adobe, like Hay and concrete. I would also be concerned with mold, not dying from mold, but the mold getting stinky when it is wet. Maybe if standard steel skirting doesn't hold, you could try going to the scrap yard and ask for some Tin Sheets. Build a little frame out...
