Many of you may know that I hate carpet. Really! It collects so much dirt and hides it and you only find it when you go to replace it or remove it. So it was a glorious day for me when I came home one late summer day to find Steven ripping up the carpet in the living room! Of course that prompted us to rip it out in the front bedroom(our altar room) and in the kids room! The best part is we have hardwood everywhere! I am so excited. We should have enough money by February to refinish all the floors. Some of the base boards were raised to put in the carpet before we owned the house so we will have to put new one's in. That should be an adventure trying to match it to the existing moldings! So with out further adieu I present the before and middle pictures. I'll post afters once we have the floors refinished in February!
