Some weeks ago my spouse and I decided that the time has come to do some spiffing up in our house. Remodeling the kitchen last year made us more aware of what needed doing in the rest of the house. We made plans to have most of the woodwork, especially baseboards, painted white. While we were at it we thought we should have new carpet put in the guest bedroom (the old was really bad) and have the walls in there painted.
The painting will start on Monday which means that today was the day to move all of the furniture out of that room and tear out the old carpet. We may be old but we're not stupid, so we arranged with the carpet company to do all this (for a small fee of course). They were supposed to come sometime after noon and I assumed it would take most of the afternoon to clear out the room.
I was wrong. At 11:25am four burly young men showed up and got to work. By 11:50am the room was cleared, the bed, dresser and other furniture moved into the family room, the old carpet and pad pulled up and hauled away, and the floor swept clean. It was amazing. If all goes as planned the painting will begin on Monday. It's scheduled to take about two weeks for the painting, then the carpet will be installed and I will be able to send an after picture.
Meanwhile here's what it looks like now:
Exciting right?
