I can't believe what we did! We thought the guy meant he would start today but he meant next Monday!!!! He had originally told us it would be Wednesday but that was when we first contcted him for an estimate. About ten days went by and he got another short job.

So that allows us as much time as we need to pick out carpeting, etc. Boy did we get culture shock when we shopped for carpeting. We had the last carpeting laid in 1981 so we were totaly not knowing what we were up against. Looking at the cheapest good grade of carpet we are looking at $2 grand at the least! My DH just said that's impossible. We can't and won't do it. But what choice do we have? The old carpet, first, is old, and most of it has already been taken up. I guess maybe we need to look at our local unclaimed freight.
