What about a shag out at sea?

Yes, as in the poem by Christopher Isherwood, who was a famous naturalist, or was that naturist? Anyway, he wrote a poem about them.....I assume you're referring to a cormorant...?
"The common cormorant (or shag)
Lays eggs inside a paper bag,
You follow the idea, no doubt?
It's to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never thought of, is that herds
Of wandering bears might come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs"

....And at the risk of being pedantic, Cormorants and Shags are, in fact, different birds...

Yes, I know, but Mr Isherwood wasn't exactly the Richard Attenborough of his time*, so I thought we could allow him a little poetic licentiousness on this occasion.
* almost certainly a nudist, with all that implies!

It is pretty common for new builds to come with no floor coverings.
We did get it with ours but it was a completed plot when we reserved it so the flooring had been added to sell the plot.
Fortunately we like the developers choice of flooring although we probably wouldn't have had carpet in the hallway.0
