I never realized just how satisfying it would be to tear old stinky carpet out! We started in the den/manroom that houses Franks desk and his gaming table. These pictures show the various stages of the tearing out process. The room is still very much a mess so please overlook that.
That floor.... Whoo boy. It's held up fairly well thanks to a nice thick carpet pad, however it's crumbling in the areas where the carpet tacks were. The room now has a nice echo to it which won't go over well when Frank has his friends over for their weekly game night. It will be high priority to re-carpet this room once we get the painting completed.
Next we moved on to the smaller of the two bedrooms. In all 2300sqft of this home, there are only two actual bedrooms. Sigh. All the rooms are oversized, which has perks, but an additional bedroom would make it so much better.
Do you see those pristine wood floors? I actually kept pausing from staple pulling to squee out loud over how great they look. Frank and I can't wait to tear into the master bedroom carpet and see what damage our dogs may have done in there. We're hopeful that they will look just as good as these do.
