Thursday evening we cleared out the bedroom - 2 dressers, chest of drawers and bed (except for the mattress) - to prepare for the carpet installation. WS moved the new linen cabinet (which still needs a couple more coats of polyeurathane) and I had already removed everything else a couple of weeks ago when we thought the basement would be done. Friday morning, before WS went to work, we removed the mattress.
The carpet crew showed up around 9 and left at 2:20. I spent about an hour vacuuming the 2 rooms getting all the fuzz up. WS came home and we proceded to move everything else back into the bedroom. The old carpet was a very light blue. The new carpet is a royal blue; what a difference the color change makes! The old carpet was just kind of there - functional, but not really noticable. The new carpet really accents all the wood furniture. WS, myself and the 4 people that have seen it so far really like the way it looks compared to the previous color.
The only bad thing about the darker color? I can't see the dogs when they are laying on it when the lights aren't on. Could make things interesting in the mornings!
WS got Joe to come over to help him bring the two desks back into the den. Everything else will be brought in piecemeal (as in, I doubt the computer will go down there until next weekend). Now that we have a bit of room again, I can order the two bookcases that will replace the two that got ruined. The spare bedroom upstairs will not get emptied out until those get installed since 80% of the boxes in there contain books. So it will still be a couple of weeks (10-14 days for delivery, and more time to put them together).
Maybe by July, we'll have everything back in order and we can start getting the upstairs bathroom worked on (from the water damage from the attic). Oh boy, another project that shouldn't take very long that will probably take months - can't wait!
