At Long Last
~by Jay

Tomorrow they will remove the carpet from our stairs and upstairs hallway.

You have no idea how much I hate this carpet. It was worn when we moved in, 8 years ago. It is now stained, ripped and smelly (Nature's Miracle can only do so much). We're not carpet lovers to start with, and even if we were, this carpet needs to go.

And with the departure of the carpet, the placement of the cabinets in the bathroom and the progression of grouting, we may - perhaps - we hope - see the beginning of the end of this renovation. 14 weeks and counting, but maybe approaching completion.

There is (of course) a fully loaded bookcase in the upstairs hallway that needs to be packed up before tomorrow. I have to do this myself because Sam is ill. I don't even mind - that's how much I hate this carpet.

Tomorrow when I come home there will be a roll of off-white carpeting in the dumpster in the driveway.

Happy dance!

I LOVE not having carpet and can't imagine going back to it. In retrospect, it seems so gross...
