Carpet installation is done

In order to have carpet installed in all the bedrooms upstairs (two of which are offices) and the living room and dining room we had to pack all objects except the furniture.  I with some help packed about 70 boxes and carried books from bookshelves that filled six shelves in the basement.  Just like packing to move.  

The blue carpet is an example of the old carpet.

New carpet.  The pattern does not show well on the picture.

Oh, I should mention that someone had to put hundreds of screws in before the carpet was installed so that the floor would no longer squeak. 

New flooring Part 1

We decided to replace the flooring in our home.  The house is 23 years old and was in need of an update.  This last week the hard surfaces were installed.   We chose a flooring that is made of synthetic materials meaning no wood to ever warp and is completely water proof.  It has a cork layer on the bottom which makes it comfortable to walk on.  It took the installers three days.  DH, who always wants to do projects himself, admitted it might have taken him a month.

The most work for us was to remove two  shelf unites and everything on them.  Now the challenge is to find a place for the items which were on them.  

My take is that I love it.  I say so every time I walk on it.
