Free at Last from that Awful Carpet

We had the most awful, ugly carpet in America I know for sure. Here Bodhi is modeling just how bad some of it is. The carpet really needed changing when we bought the house in 2004. We had planned to replace it but, as most people know, real life usually intervenes and something else comes up that requires your time, attention and money. But, finally, this year in July 2010 we couldn't take it anymore and we got new flooring!!! I did a lot of online research and we finally decided on Home Depot. We went to the store to actually look at samples to make sure it looked as good in person as it did online.


If the carpet had not already been a mess, Bodhi would have taken care of it. From the moment we got him as a puppy in November 2009 he began slowly and methodically destroying the carpet. He loved chewing it and playing with it.
Some of Bodhi's best handiwork. Not only did it look awful, but it was a major safety issue as well.



Home Depot delivered the boxes. I did not know this but the laminate flooring has to be in your home for at least 72 hours prior to installation to get acclimated to the environment.
We chose Pergo laminate called Caribbean Walnut. We both liked it, which as most married folks know, it is not always an easy feat to find something both of you like.

The van of the installers. There were 3 guys from Georgia. They got to our house shortly after 11 a.m. and did not leave that night until almost 1 a.m. It was quite an experience!!
Oh, we are so thankful. It looks so much better than that awful carpet. It was a long wait but so worth it.
