New Carpet

Wow...was this a huge project! Somehow it didn't seem like so much work when we were just talking about it!! But it was totally worth all of the splinters, sore muscles and scraped fingers from the carpet backing and tack strips. Dad used over 400 screws trying to get rid of all of the squeaks in the floor.

Amanda and Jason came up to help on Saturday, boy were we glad to see them!


We lived like rednecks for the weekend, with lawn chairs for furniture, and the tv on the floor~


Well...someone had to oversee that dad was screwing the floor down right!!


We crammed the furniture anywhere it would fit....

I especially liked the sofa in the kitchen. After I washed the dishes, I didn't have to go far to lay down and take a nap!!



And the finally the finished product....

I love the new carpeting, it's sooo plush, and feels good under your feet.


Now for new furniture to go with the new carpet?! :)

It's so weird seeing the house with bare wood floors! The new carpet looks awesome though!! Good job, guys :)
