Another Rug

I talked one of the route setters at the gym out of some old gym ropes to make another rug. After the first one I said I would only make them when I wore out a rope, but I have to admit that I kind of have the bug. I really like the idea of turning something useless into something usable. Recycling is great and all, but continuing to use something that was considered garbage is really cool. I have to admit that having an old piece of climbing gear laying by the door doing a new job makes me happy.

I am trying to decide if I should give this rug to the guy who gave me the rope. Kind of grease the skids to try to get more rope. The problem is I kind of like it (I think Elsie does too.) What do you think I should do?
