The doctor is in…

The Rug Doctor, that is. The renters are moving in beginning Sunday, so I thought I’d better do the carpets today so they’d be dry by Sunday. That probably is confusing, since we are redoing everything. But Gary gave us a carpet he pulled out of somewhere and we used it for the upstairs room that is not a bedroom. When we finally unrolled it, we were disappointed how dirty it was. Plus, there was a big stained area. Anyway, it really needed cleaning, so I did that, then the little bit of carpet between the kitchen and bedrooms that we put there because of the discrepancy in floor heights. It had taken quite a beating during the remodeling, so I did that, too.

Then I brought it up to Chetek and began work on the carpets in the new building. It is a big place, so I didn’t do them all. But I did the office, the main exercise studio, the waiting room, the music studio and the main living area. Basically I did every room that isn’t going to have any work done on it, so I skipped the bedroom and the room that will be connected to it and the recording studio and the room we are going to use for storage, because what is the point of cleaning that?

Now I’m off to measure all the used cabinets we’ve collected and see if I can fashion a kitchen that will fit our space and the appliances we have. Fun!

Here’s a flash from the past – remember the black tub surround that was in there? We sold the black monstrosity on Craig’s List! Of course the bathroom is reconfigured, too, with the door on the opposite side.The interesting thing is that the toilet and cabinet behind it are still in the same place.  The tub is now where the sink was. And the sink is kind of where the tub was, except there is a door into the bathroom beyond where the tub was because we put the entrance through what was the closet in the bedroom beyond it. And where the photographer was standing is now a wall with the hallway on the other side of it.
