Day Four - New Carpet, Clean Air Vents, and more Painting

Today we had a guy in to lay the carpet in the basement and on the stairs. Steamway was also there to clean out our air ducts. Because of the vent cleaning, the AC had to be turned off for most of the day. It got pretty warm while we were working.
We couldn't paint much of the stairway b/c of the carpet being laid, but we were able to do the upper part which took a lot of maneuvering and some trapeze artist moves on everyone's part. The kitchen, dining room, hallway, and master bedroom are finished. Tomorrow will consist of ripping up more carpet, painting the spare bedroom, and Carsen's bedroom and then finishing in the stairwell. We're all exhausted but it looks so good we're proud of ourselves too!

It was hard to get way up to the top. A few of our positions were pretty uncomfortable.

Love the new carpet smell!
