Tax Day - Carpet Day!

This is a huge big deal for us. This has been on the 'list' for nearly five years, and today is the day. I've been painting the moulding in the living room and upstairs for what seems like months. Wanted to finish all the painting because don't want to worry about any paint on the new carpet.
The hardwood floor is nice but not perfect. He likes it but feels it will be too drafty.

We expected the 'crew' to arrive between '10 and 2' but they got here at 8:45. We were not ready, frankly, he had just gotten up! I was up, had been up with feeding and taking care of the dog and cat, too, but was still in my pajamas and here they are, banging on the door. We still needed to move some furniture into the now empty bathroom, but the crew of two already had dumped their tools and effects in there.

While they were upstairs we moved the remainder of the furniture downstairs into the dining room.

The two of them were here until a little after 4 o'clock. Max spent the morning hours locked in Lil Fred's stall. He occasionally barked, but was mostly quiet. I took him for a walk and played with him in his yard but later we snuck into the basement and watched TV. Irene was locked in her kitty carrier for the duration.

We should have done this years ago!
