Enjoyed the tour! We're looking for this exact same carpet and having a devil of a time finding a local carpet installer who has a wholesaler relationship with Joy Carpets so we can get some - and I'm in the same state as the manufacturer! (For anyone looking, the carpet is specifically "Joy Carpets Space Explorer Fluorescent" - while Lowe's has some other neon carpets from that manufacturer, Space Explorer is NOT one of them.)
