New Carpet Prep

This week Momoko and I went to the carpet store to choose a new carpet for our living and dining rooms. Kit Kat asked us not to get berber carpet. Little Kat asked us not to get anything too shaggy. We found a nice dark color that would not show stains when people drop stuff on the floor.

A guy from the store came by the house to get exact measurements. The store owner later called back. The cost was higher than he originally projected, but less than I thought it would run. I called back the next day and ordered the carpet.

The installers will move our furniture out of the way. We just had to move everything else. Yesterday Kit Kat and I bought some more bankers boxes. Last night Momoko and kids started filling some of the boxes and moved them downstairs.

Today we got serious and packed up until we ran out of boxes. Little Kat disassembled a bunch of electronics. I carried some heavy stuff downstairs. Little Kat and I got the backup fish tank out of the shed and into the basement. We need to temporarily move our fish out of the dining room.

Tomorrow we need to buy more bankers boxes and finish up what we can. The hardest part will be transporting the fish into a backup fish tank. Hopefully this week we will have the new carpet installed.
