Dave, have read the article multiple times, it is most excellent! My
carpet is from Martha. After reading your post I went and stared at it some
more and.... sure helps if you put the pieces on right side up! Never
mind...
Sure is a lot of excess material sticking up above the sill area, lots of
cutting to do.
