Day 22: House of Flooring, Flooring, Flooring

This morning, completely out of the blue, three guys showed up and put new carpet in the bedrooms.



I had enough self-control to wait for them to leave before rolling around on it.



Oh. My. God. This carpet feels soooo good. Especially compared to the original crap that we're still stuck with in the hallway and living room. Take a look: the old stuff is on the left, the new stuff is on the right -->



To make the day even better, another guy came by and cleaned the carpet in the basement.



I did do a little actual work, such as putting a second coat on the baseboards in the living room and taping off the kitchen for its paint job. It was Mom's birthday today (Happy Birthday, Mom!) so we didn't work much this evening, but the roofing guy finally came out to work up an estimate on replacing the roof and adding a cover over our patio.

After we got back from dinner, we started putting down self-adhesive tile in the laundry room. We were frightened by how easy it was. The miracles of modern science!



We put down all the pieces we could without cutting any to fit. That will come tomorrow.

Just to prove that every silver lining has a cloud - one of the baseboards in the laundry room is messed up.



We were going to get another piece of baseboard to replace it with, but I think we might actually use some of the leftover chair rail from the hobby room. It doesn't match, but it'll be behind the washer and dryer anyway, so who cares?
