Major Project Complete!

It feels so great to have the carpet installed. It is a HUGE amount of work to get carpet all the way from shopping for it, to buying it (ka-ching), to prepping the house for it and then getting the house back in order again! Wow.

I love the carpet we chose. It's so soft and the color is just perfect. Once we get new paint, it's going to look even better. Best of all I am not squeamish about walking around barefoot anymore. Some of the stains were rather suspicious looking and well, that's just icky.

The stairs are so soft. What a treat to run up and down them without squeaks! Keith took care of every last one before the carpet was laid.

Chad was now able to move to his 'real' bedroom. We had temporarily had him in the wee small 5th bedroom upstairs as this room was lino and just not really a cozy place until now. We just have to get him some paint and remove the massive mirror from the wall.

Liam's pleased as punch that I have finally started unpacking all his toys. He had been relegated to one small box until now. He managed just fine, I thought.

And what would we do without family to help? Keith's bro has been at our beck and call to help with furniture and all the moving of stuff back and forth to various rooms in the house. Keith's back does not need another relapse and after all the work he has been doing these past weeks, I'm just hoping it holds out! He was at the chiropractor today and so far so good. Ripping up carpet is quite the work out.

And we thought we might as well get rid of the nasty peel 'n stick in the en suite while we were at it. I love the new vinyl and once those dated cupboards are painted that bathroom will be a lovely little oasis for me.

So, if you want to see it in person drop on by! I'd love to give you a tour.
