This past weekend we pulled out the carpet and put in new wood floors. We decided to take out the carpet in hopes that it would help Carter's allergies and would contribute to getting rid of the dark purple circles he always seems to have under his eyes. At this point I'm willing to try everything.
This is Carter with his working gear on.
So Friday night Mike and I pulled up the carpet, pad, tack strips and Mike put down the plastic underlay. Look below, see I totally helped! At this point I was still a little nervous about our decision and if we would really be able to finish it on Saturday.
Mike decided to "tag" our living room before installation.
Saturday morning Scott came over to help lay the actual flooring. Mike and Scott are the "dream team" and were able to get so much done quickly. They were done with the flooring by 1, and then Mike and I installed the corderround and I painted the baseboards, a wall in the living room and touched up paint in the dining room. It was a very productive day. The only thing left to install are the transitions, but Mike made those and we have to stain them before he can lay those. We're really pleased with how they look. I just need to find a rug that I like that I can still throw in the washer.
So what do you think?
