Say goodbye to the filthy, stinky, stained, god awful, faded mauve carpet. With a couple good tugs, Dave and I were able to get the carpet and padding up in about 15 minutes. A few minutes more, the staples were removed or pounded in and the floor swept.
Look at that stain on the bottom of the carpet.
I spent a few extra dollars for the heavy duty pad and laid it in,
stapled it down and taped the seams.
A nice smooth base for the laminate to go onto.
Time for the laminate, at 65 cents a square foot, I couldn't go wrong. I started up front just under the couch. Only had 1 problem board on the whole floor and it happened to be in the middle in front of the sink. It was fixed with a single finish nail covered with wood putty.
Looking back to the bedroom.
Looking forward from the bedroom.
A Jeff Dunham DVD to keep me company on the TV.
It was a little tight in Eddie IV for Dave and me to be working on the floor, so Dave worked on the appliances. Degreasing, washing, sanding and then washing again to give a good surface for paint to adhere. The former almond fan vent, cooktop and cooktop cover are now black thanks to Rustoleum's Appliance Epoxy.
Covers well with a smooth finish.
Some wet sanding.
First coat of paint.
