Mike did most of this work. We had ordered a No. 8 carpet pad and after taking off the old carpet, noticed that the pad underneath seemed to be in really good condition and a No. 8 pad. So in an effort to save even more money, we decided to keep the pad and just install the new carpet on top.Here's the bonus room's cement floor. We had to put some KILZ on several "Dog" spots.
We got a cool surprise when the carpet was installed. The existing pad ended up being a No. 10, better than what we were going to put in. We still had to replace the pad downstairs though, so that had a No 8, but we were pretty excited about that.
Then after all the carpet was laid, Mike started replacing the brown 1 1/2 inch baseboard with this white 3+ inch baseboard.
Next come the hardwoods....

oh my gosh it is starting to look so nice! I hate pulling carpet up. I had a rash for weeks. I was allergic to whatever was in the carpet. It was horrible. Maybe the animals or dust mites I don't know. I will wear gloves next time! Looks like it is comng along. Keep us posted!
