Carpet install - day one

The day has finally arrived for the carpet install!

We had to remove all things from the room except the actual furniture.  It looks weird because we've got everything pulled away from the walls too.  (We removed the huge mirror from the big chest because we didn't want that broken!!)




Guest room ready!



The installers moved all the furniture out very efficiently....out comes the carpet....a bit of cleanup.  New tack strips nailed down.



Padding in place.  This is the guest room.



Office carpet going in.



Stairs stripped and preparing for new carpet.



Office finished!!  I'm very pleased with it.  They put a firm padding under a nice closed-loop Berber-type carpet.




The pile of old carpet grew as the day went!!  Glad it was them toting all that!!  I will say that they are a couple of hard-working guys!!



Late in the day, they had finished the office and the guest room.  We spent some time putting stuff back in place.



But they didn't finish the stairs....ran out of time and didn't have enough carpet either. 



They'll be back tomorrow for more install - the master bedroom and the hardwood in the hallway!!

Looking good!

...the new carpet looks AWESOME...you know I told Rafe after we installed our own carpet in Balsam Grove that I would NEVER do that again...definitely a job better left to the professionals...I seriously don't know how they even do it every day...it's such hard work...yours looks great!

Love,
