Carpet

Anyone remember a couple of months ago when this happened?


This week we finally got our new floor. Rough as the boys are we decided to go with carpet because they will do it less damage than they will a laminate floor. It will also do our possessions a little less damage as Alex (and at times Kenny) has a habit of dropping things for no reason but to hear the thud.

Wednesday night we cleaned up the basement and Thursday morning we moved all the furniture into the office and the laundry room. The kids really enjoyed the empty rooms and the echo.



By the end of Thursday they hadn't quite finished the job leaving it looking like this. They couldn't come back until today so we packed the kids up and headed to my parent's house so that it wasn't a constant battle keeping the boys out of the basement. Never mind the fact the their bedroom was the least finished area.



This morning we rushed home so that they could finished the job. There is still a little work do be done at the entrance to the office, but they can't do that the it's empty.

We decided to take this opportunity to rearrange the furniture and get rid of some excess pieces we had. My mother and sister have some excess pieces of their own that I'll be taking off their hands in the next week so my house can be nice and comfortable again. Thanks gals.

So here is our new basement.

So is there still laminate under the carpet? Carpet is nice for kids - less painful to fall on.

No, the laminate was pulled up.
