New Carpet for guest room!

Recycling was the plan, but....

We had received a nice piece of carpet from my brother Neal and his wife Claudia, and the plan was to remove the old carpet from our little guest room, and use their piece of carpet to replace it.....but it was 3 inches to short all across the 10 ft width that it need to be....

We found this out after removing the furniture and the bed, and pulling the old carpet and laying it out on our cement pad where we park our vehicles, and by the way it was a nice 72 degrees last Tuesday, and very comfortable working weather.

Plan B---Rory went shopping at a few different carpet and lumber stores for a remnant that measured 12 by 10 feet. Low and behold in Little Falls I found a piece of new carpet for only $80.00!

Hauled it home after a company golf outing at a course close to Little Falls.

So tonight was installation night, a warm 88 degree day and about 90% humitidy..

So again we laid out the new carpet piece face down and then laid the old carpet on top of it face down and lined up one edge and cut the new stuff to almost the exact same size.

It is so much easier when you have a template to go by.

Above you can see the new stuff already installed and just moving in the furniture, the nice creamy color brightens the room up a lot.

Above you can see the furniture in and the bed remade...needless to say we were both drenched, after moving it in and getting it in place and moving everything back in.

But is does look much nicer, and I also fixed a weak spot in the floor where the bed sat, and so everything is looking great!
