On today's episode I discuss how I met a retired Air Force pilot that can do magic to oriental rugs.  He operates Khalil's Oriental Rug Workshop based here in Carrollton, TX.   He has become quite the oriental and persian rug expert and takes great pride in his work.  If you need a rug professionally cleaned or repaired he is the man for the job.  Contact him at www.orientalrugworkshop.com or call him at 972-416-4040.  He will be fair and honest with the work.
