With Sunday being nice and warm in the sixties, we took the opportunity to clean out our garage as junk/halloween decorations seemed to have accumulated there since the end of October. Daddy did most of the work, while Mommy kept saying how tired she still was from all of the festivities the week previous. THEN Mommy had a great thought, we needed more carpeting in the garage - - so Daddy went hard to work making our garage have carpeting. You see, with more carpeting, it allows me more space to move with Matteo in addition to taking his shoes on and off. Besides, I asked Gramps (aka Carpet Surgeon aka 40+ years in the installation business) to come out and help, but he was too busy going to the movies with his OTHER grandchildren. That's okay Gramps, I don't forget :-)
So here is Daddy hard at work. Always one with attention to detail, he gets every last string up, leaving none behind.
Next, as every good carpet installer does, Daddy took to vacuuming the newly laid carepting. Notice how well the two Laura Ashleys blend. The only difference is one has been down for 3+ years and the other is newly down. But wait, there is still more cleaning to do.....
About 3-4 years ago, we redid our master bathroom. Mommy originally purchased this porceilin base, however after it was installed "we" (Mommy) changed her mind and decided to put down all tile instead. So after looking at it in our garage for all these years, we moved it to the attic. Don't worry, I keep telling DAddy we'll use it one day, just not today (or for the past 4 years of todays).
PRESTO! Here is our finished product, plenty of room for shoes, sitting and standing and we need not trip over everything. I just wish we had 3 Laura Ashely's instead of 2 and a brown (puke). Oh well.
And in case, you are wondering how the movie was for Gramps---he didn't go he got sick HAHAHA :-) Oh I always love a story with a happy ending.
Sounds like you were the foreman this time E!! HeHe!!!
