The carpet installers arrived at 7:30am, which was before we were awake. They had called at 6:45am saying they would be there soon, but we both slept right through it! We were happy to see them anyway. While they brought in their supplies, we rushed around and uninstalled the ugly metal doors on all the closets so the carpet would continue into the closet without any spaces.
They installed the pad in about 45 minutes--so fast!
They had to install new tack strip in a few places. They didn't stretch it over the tack strips, just stapled it down next to the tack strip.
Then in came the carpet! They unrolled some so I could see it. It looked great in the house!! The color was perfect--not too light or too dark--and the whole thing felt so soft!
The carpet installers were great, they finished in about 5 hours. I made them lunch. They were funny guys, we chatted while they ate, but they didn't pause for long. They get paid by the job, so they try to finish each job as fast as possible, without mistakes. They did forget to cut the carpet out for one of the vents, but that was the only thing that wasn't perfect. It was funny because I walked into the room and thought to myself "isn't this room heated? I swear there was a vent in here..." and then i found the squishy spot with my foot. It was super easy to cut the carpet for it though, so now that room is heated again. Haha :P
Doesn't it look so cushy??
Now we can start really living in the rooms upstairs. We will be moving the bed up and sleeping in the master bedroom right away! Hooray!
