The carpet arrived a day earlier then thought. The Carpet installers called and said they had us on the schedule for yesterday. We were expecting them this evening. Ok, so I run home and we clean up what little was left. Then I go to work on the upstairs carpet that goes up the stairs and lines the hall from which the bathroom and three bedrooms are off of. So I'm working on pulling this carpet up. But its get these big ass staples holding it securly to the stairs. So it not an easy task. And as I'm going up the stairs, what I pulled free, I'm just throwup up the stairs further. But it keeps plopping down on me as I'm pulling it up from the next step. So, this carpet is flooping around and I'm getting scrached and spiked with this thing. I was bloody mess by the time I got to the top of the stairs. I think starting at the top and going down would have been the much better option. I'll know better next time. After the carpet was up, I went and cleaned myself off with hydrogen peroxide, and then rubbed antibiotic ointment all over. But the carpet got laid. Its all pretty and clean, and smells like new. The downstairs tv was pulled out and put back into place with a cable box, so the kidlets could watch their programs downstairs again. Sharing one tv, upstairs in the living room, has been a chore.
