I missed posting last night because I was wrapped up...tearing up the carpet in the spare room. WOW! Can I tell you how much I hate carpet...? I know some people love it, and to each their own, but I despise it. Let me tell you why; I hate that scents get trapped in them, I hate how easy they are to get dirty and how hard they are to get clean, I hate shampooing them (that process takes way too long), and most of all, I hate ripping them out to see the dirt and dinge that creeps it way through to sit on the padding under the carpet. Have I grossed you out yet (I am not even going to mention the things that LIVE in carpet)? This is why I am so thrilled that we are doing solid hard wood throughout the house, along with some natural stone in the bathrooms and kitchen.
Last night I emptied out the spare room, removed all the doors, covered the window with paper so the neighbors do not peer in, and started to rip up the carpet. I only got half of the room up and the padding is still on the floor but my intention for tonight is to remove the rest of the carpet and all of the padding and haul it all to the side of the house. I think I should be able to accomplish that tonight. OH! I should probably start taking some pictures as we go. I will remember to get my camera out tonight.
More to come on this room soon.
Cheers!
