Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: justincase on 11 18, 14, 09:34:24:PM Yeah, I have a ton of them. I was going to rip up the carpet and put down wood laminate flooring this coming spring, but now I've changed my mind.

Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: KensanIV on 11 18, 14, 09:40:17:PM Just think! No more carpet cleaning, just pour a can of copper polish on the floor and buff to a fine shine.

Yep, sure did. What did it cost you? Pennies! Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: Jim on 11 18, 14, 10:03:30:PM Pour and level a decent coat of clear epoxy over top, let it cure fully, and it should stay the way you created it. Just a guess... Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: chuck_curtis on 11 18, 14, 10:14:47:PM Yep, that should do it.
Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: WWV10MHZ on 11 18, 14, 11:38:44:PM Can't do this in Canada. They got rid of pennies a few years ago. Amounts ending in 0, 1 or 2 are rounded to 0. Amounts ending in 3, 4 or 5 are
rounded up to 5 at the register. That would never work here, we're too greedy!!! Title: Re: Do you save Lots of pennies? Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 19, 14, 03:19:40:AM That's cool.
