Or rather destruction....
I closed on The Ugly Lake House on March 28, 2011 around noon. After a quick lunch and a change of clothes I headed over to the house to tackle the first project, removing the carpet.
I'm estimating that there was about 1400-1600 square feet of it and I'm still trying to figure out why carpet in a kitchen is a good idea.
I'm pretty sure this color is the same as my 1995 Ford Thunderbird airport car. Was Forest Green hot in the mid-90's?
With the carpet out it's already looking a little better. You can also get a glimpse of the original floor plan. It appears that where the kitchen is currently was once a utility room.
I managed to remove the first floor carpet the end of the first day I was homeowner. The staircase and second floor carpet was removed on the next day.
My dad came out on the second day for a few hours to help pull some staples out of the floor.
Would anyone like some free carpet remnants?
It's going to be a long time before I take on this project again. I was sore for the next three days.
