Comments I need about 170 SQ FT of Stainmaster 12.7mm memory foam pad for this project. The existing carpet and pad were purchased from Lowes and installed in March. Lowes will take 3 weeks to get the pad (Item 590951 at Lowes). I'd like to get it faster if possible. Then this project is to cut out some pad that isn't yet removed from some water damage (a few square feet around a column) and then re-stretch and tack down the carpet. Full room size is 408 sq feet.
