New carpet for Clara
July 03, 2008 by Heather
Before, notice how old and shag blue it is.
During, it's amazing how much dirt gets between the carpet and the pad AND between the pad and the floor.
The old pad was white and the new pad is blue/green.
This was Adam's first time laying carpet. We ripped out the old and laid the new in about 4 hours! Not bad! (Thanks to the help of Grandpa Purser)
After, I love new carpet! It was not too hard, but it was a simple 12x13 squarish room. (I know, easy for me to say since Adam did most of the work!) We're pretty proud of the end result!
Our advice would be: 1. Don't lay carpet on a 100 degree day in a room with no air conditioner! 2. Remnants cost less and are great for bedrooms! 3. Rent a knee-kicker/ stretcher thing!
