carpet and flooring finish

10.11-13.11

While the countertop crew finished up in the kitchen, the carpet installers worked throughout the house tearing out the rest of the carpet and installing new carpet and pad. It took all day, but I consider that pretty quick for all they had to do.
Before:
 After:
The carpet we chose is Phenix Solitude in Stony Creek. We chose it because it's super soft and will hide footprints and dirt. The pictures look different because of the lighting, but overall it's a brownish taupe.
 
 After the install I vacuumed the whole house to pull up loose and stray strands. Yikes.
 Brent continued working on the laminate flooring over the next few days. The hallway was kind of tricky because of three doorways and a niche. But on the 13th he made it to the last piece.
 He measured and cut.
 Hammered it in.
 And celebrated.
 Brent and friend Greg show off their muscles and hammers. These guys installed flooring in Greg's house two years ago. They're practically pros now.
