New carpet for the family room, office/sewing room and guest bedroom was installed in June 2012. Yay!!! We purchased the carpet at Lowe's and had them remove the old carpet and install the new carpet. They were reliable and efficient. Our job was to get the rooms ready before the new carpet arrived. That meant painting all the rooms and ceilings. Courtney did a great job on the guest bedroom and Bill and Teri did the family room and office/sewing room. The biggest job was painting the ceiling of the family room since it is a vaulted ceiling and also the popcorn type texture. And...the ceiling of the family room connects and extends through the dining room and kitchen so they all had to be painted. The time and effort was definitely worth the clean, fresh look in all the rooms. Pictured here is the family room during the installation of the carpet and after the furniture was returned to the room. Yeah, it's our blue room.
A picture of installation in progress in the office/sewing room. The finished guest bedroom and office/sewing room. Love the feel of the soft carpet and enjoy the fresh look.
We stained the rail fence the lines our driveway. Brandon did a great job helping us with this project.
Before and after pictures of restoring our deck. Bill replaced several deteriorated boards and sanded off as much of the old paint as possible. Our experience with decks needing to be redone every several years pushed us to explore our options for this project. We found a product called Deck Restore that is "guaranteed" to last 8 - 10 years. It is applied with a special roller and is very thick with sand in it. Since our deck is 600 square feet (looking for sympathy here), we sincerely hope this product lives up to its guarantee. The product has been used commercially for years but has only been available for several years to the general public. We will let you know the duration of this finish. It's beautiful now and we are very happy with it.
