Carpet removed

The two rooms with new paint are ready for new carpet. It's not a pleasant job to remove that old dusty carpet and the even dustier underlay, but if you can stand the dust and have a good cutting knife it really doesn't take that long. We rolled it up and tied it in 2-3 ft bundles and put it in garbage bags so it won't get too soaked before next pick up. I was surprised the first time we put out old carpet for the garbage man, they actually pick it up. So.. now we just have to wait our turn for the new stuff to be installed. No, we haven't tried that on our own.
