I never imagined that it would take so much work to replace your carpeting at home. Not that I have to install it myself, there are carpet installers who do that. I'm talking about getting four bedrooms ready for the carpeting. The carpet store said they will move furniture but no electrical and no glass. Okay that sounds like it should be easy but it's not. I still have to pick up everything from the floor including each closet floor, remove books from shelves, box up my vinyl records and move a multitude of other things. I started the preparations on Monday and by Tuesday night I am only half done. You see the master bed still has to be broken down and my stereo and my computer equipment too. Oh and there are two more queen size beds in two other bedrooms. But I never forgot the phrase I once heard at a freight forwarding company where I worked part-time for extra money loading trucks. They told us to "Pack em high and tight!" So that's what I've done. I've moved everything I could and packed it high and tight! After the carpet is in all that stuff goes right back to where it was before -so I'm having Such a good time on this project!
