no lie on the title.

the dirty carpet had been just too much. and nate had a week off. so on sunday, we moved everything out of the weird middle room/dining room/office and rug doctored the entire carpet.

after 5 years of cat filth and not cleaning it before we moved in, let me tell you, watching the grime come up out of the rug was REALLY satisfying.

the next time the rug is just too dirty to deal with, though, i think we’re just going to replace it with hardwood/laminate. it’s almost 25 years old at this point and it’s not very cushy. plus, there are parts of it that are starting to unravel, and then stan decides that it’s his new toy and so it becomes even more unraveled.

moving the stuff out of the room and then moving it back was a lot of work. i actually was thinking “ugh, let’s just tear up the carpet and replace it now.” (we did not.)

so, my weekend was eventful in that nate and i got a lot of stuff done. carpet on sunday, and on saturday i put all my summer outdoor stuff away 🙁 while nate raked leaves so he had a better time snowblowing this year. (if there’s snow to snowblow.) i also finally dug up the rest of my potatoes!

it’s supposed to snow next weekend. farewell fall 🙁 can’t wait til spring.
