After 22+ years, it was finally time to bid farewell to the pink (beige?) carpet from the lake condo. I journeyed up to Virginia to wish it well as it was loaded into the back of a van destined for a trash heap. Here's a pile that's ready to make its final voyage....
This is a view of the floor looking back towards the bedrooms downstairs. The toe kick guard hadn't been installed yet, but you can get an idea of what the linoleum looks like. It's lighter than most hardwood floors, but the coloring was hard to capture in these pictures. We're doing a little painting, too, as you can see by the new mint green color in the back bedroom.
The guys had to rip up the carpet and then prepare the area for the new flooring. There was a lot of power-sawing and hammering going on over the two day project. Good thing it was the middle of the week and not many neighbors were around!
Here's another shot of the work-in-progress (at the end of the first day). I had quite a time trying to navigate the "obstacle course" of furniture when I put the final coat of light blue paint on the wall that night.
And here is one final shot of the condo while they were still working on the kitchen. My camera battery died at this point, so you'll just have to come visit to see the final product!
