Removing Carpet.


ugh. this is nasty dirty business.

even though we steam clean 2x a year and vacuum at least as often (ha ~KIDDING MOM)
it was still some nasty stuff to remove.

Take Away Notes

1) cutting around furniture is not lazy, but sensible when your husband is doing all the work at midnight while the rest of the world sleeps.
2) take your time with the removal of the tack strips. You'll be grateful for the smaller holes come refinishing time.

One thing we were both pretty shocked about was how messy the concrete was underneath the carpeting. Holy Paint batman. Forgive my ignorance as i don't often hang around constructions sites, but that was our first glimpse of -- this aint no weekend project robin.
