New Carpet

March 27, 2012, Tuesday - I am sorry if you are reading this and wondering what is wrong with the date.  I realized that I forgot 2 important events that happened & blogger will not let me change the order of my posts.  So let me insert them here. 
Today we got new carpet!  This is exciting to have this new change in our house.  The 3 men arrived about 8:30 in the morning and started moving the furniture.  Thank goodness it was a pretty day outside because they had to move our sectional couch outside on the deck.  There was no where else to move it to.  They went right to work cutting and removing the old carpet.  Then they used a long handled scrapper and scrapped padding that was still stuck to the wooden floor.  Padding went down and then the carpet, they left the stairs for last.  And they packed all the old carpet in their van, cleaned up and left by 4pm.  And WOW - our floors look different.  They look so nice and new!  I love new!  I was amazed how they laid the carpet on the staircase and went around the spindles.  So perfect!  We look forward to walking around on our new soft carpet. Here are the before and after pictures.
