I was told there were about a million staples holding the carpet pad down... and it took 3 hours with 3 guys to remove it!
Here are some brief sneak peak photos of the progress:
The dining room is for tomorrow- you can see the dark flooring from the front, some of the underlayment (green), and the subfloor.
Ah, I can't wait to see the crisp white baseboards against this dark floor!
That's it for now, I'm squealing with delight already, even though it's super dirty and dusty in here. :)
