| We were ready for new carpet! We love it! |
Can you believe that we've lived in our house for 13 years? We bought it the summer before Mark was born. Luckily, it's worn pretty well. We've repainted most of the original house, and Dad replaced the garbage disposal, but those are our only major repairs.
The carpet has been looking pretty shabby, though. When we bought the house they had seven levels of increasingly expensive carpet. The lowest was thatch spread on the plywood (or so it seemed). We decided to get a mid-grade carpet, around level three. It was nice and lasted pretty well, but three boys that constantly go in and out had been pretty hard on it. We decided it was time to replace it.

The carpet was looking pretty ragged.
That's not the lighting. It's the spot under the couch! |

Mom and Dad both knew that we wanted something darker and richer. It was Dax who found the perfect color. As per Grandma Benson's instructions from long ago, we bought the best pad that was available. We were really excited for the carpet to come, but we still had a lot of work to do.
Over the course of a week, we moved everything into the basement. A few things moved to the kitchen or a bathroom. The two major things were getting the piano onto the front porch and disassembling the bunkbed. We needed help with each of those obstacles. And the worst part was that after the carpet came everything had to be moved back.

I love your new carpet!!
