Progress is being made on the home improvements, and that includes installation of “wood” laminate floors - which means that we need to cover them back up with rugs. I insist that my GTI is appropriate for carrying 8 foot rugs. Photos of house progress below.

Not the most comfortable driving position, but it works

Stylish towel for muddy dog paw protection, rug pads to lift up the rugs to fit against windshield

The hatch closes on them

So, in the past ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) I had a truck, and I used it less and less, so I’m still convinced that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (things that I actually used it for, I mean). I may be pushing it. But my wife questioned whether we could get these home in my car, so that meant that it had to happen.

My !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was pretty spot on. Still need to paint the walls, though.

My mock-up using MS Paint

Current state - needs paint and a bigger TV

The house looks great!

A truck is absolutely not a necessity for a homeowner. Here’s my truck substitute. An old Saturn and a Harbor Freight trailer.

I admit that a truck would make things a bit easier, but this has been working fine for me.
