Oh Betsi, you're so funny! I'll have to ask the carpet installers about the rake

They're here now laying the carpet, I think I'm really going to like it. I'll post a pic of it later.
I know what you mean about a big house. My hubby built this one when his daughters were small. Now they are in their 30's and have their own homes, and we have a 3000 sq ft house

I feel like you do... enough room for the two of us and couple of bedrooms for the kids when they visit. I would love to have a one story house. Hopefully this one will sell and if it doesn't, I'm doing everything in the colors that I like.
