Dirt


Underneath our labrador-scented master bedroom carpet is the backyard. We wrongly blamed erosion for the quantity of earth we had to haul last year before putting down sod. Turns out the dirt that was once in the back yard was tracked inside and deposited beneath the only remaining carpet in the entire house. At least that was true this morning. It has now all been swept up and deposited in the trash bin as Don tore out the carpet and pad to reveal the cement slab. As I type, Don is removing the carpet tacks from around the edge of the bedroom.
He discovered today that Lowe's is offering a 10% discount on flooring through March 26th. So when I joked about our icky carpet to a friend on the phone this afternoon, he shot out of the bedroom to show me the ad. Half an hour later, we checked out with enough flooring to replace our super-icky bedroom carpet. We fed everyone an early dinner, and started to clear the bedroom of furnishings. Hopefully, the new floor will be done by tomorrow night.
