Was thinking of leaving about 6" on all sides and rough cutting in the built-in desk/closet combo. Beside the desk we have a step-down to the mudroom/kitchen and I want the carpet to wrap around this step. Sound about right?

Thanks for all your advice Skip! I owe ya big time.......it's good, sound advice! And I won't charge you with any fault if things go wrong........I'll just hunt you down and lick you to death! *hugs*
