"I can't believe we're done painting (and patching and sanding), finally!!!"

The light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, not really... It's just the old light fixture

"Are we really done?"

Not really, here is the next part of the project...

A new carpet, but first all the dust needs to come out

This is our friend Stanley.

He'll be installing our new carpet.

This is Stanley's wedding gift to us, which includes the following:

* all materials

* complete installation

* and final touches

A true labor of love, don't you think.

 Here he is; setting the work area on our little garden

Stan in action...a lot of prep-work.

Can you see the beautiful tulips on the background, it was the perfect day to have the carpet installed

Working Non-stop...

The padding is ready.

Ta Ta! The first step is ready.

Almost done...yeah!
