Pulled up the remaining carpet yesterday and finishing off the underlayment tonight. I'll be ready to lay the last of the new flooring tomorrow evening.
The previous owner of the house is the guy who had it built and he had some excellent contractors working for him (with the exception of electrical - I am told it was a friend). The guy that did the carpet overdid himself when it came to installing the underlayment. There are little fscking staples everywhere. That underlayment was not going to move if there was an atom bomb dropped on it.
Needless to say, I am spending about 20% of my time for this project on my hands and knees prying up hundreds of staples. We are looking at doing the rest of the house in hardwood flooring. Lulu's son will not be a happy camper when we get to that part... (insert evil grin here)
