Our friends from Interior Design Carpet spent their first day at the “L” Shaped House preparing the second floor for carpeting. By the time they are done Rick and Jason will have installed carpeting in 12 rooms, 3 stairwells, and some interesting closet spaces throughout the house.
The first photo shows the 11 rolls of new carpeting piled in the first stall of the garage. A few rolls of carpet pad material can be seen piled up in the background. Rick and his crew have pre-cut some of the carpet at their shop but plan to use our garage and bonus room if necessary.
Sam and I stopped by the house right after lunch to look around and took a few photos on the second floor after the tack strips were installed. In the first the tack strip can be seen extending all the way around the upstairs hallway. In the second Sam is about to get his first good look at a PowerHold tack strip.
The next photo shows the right hand closet in Sam’s room after the tack strip installation. We plan to have carpeting running all through the second floor… including the closets and attic spaces.
The next couple photos were taken on my way home from work and show the carpet padding installed in the second floor hallway. We are having Rick and his guys install 5/8” Spillguard carpet padding under all of the carpet roll materials (we are using carpet squares in the basement). The second photo below shows the Spillguard pad and tack strip along the outside wall of the book nook.
The last photo shows the carpet padding running into Sam’s room from the hallway and around the corners into the walk-in closets on both sides of the doorway. The entire upstairs much quieter with the carpet padding installed.
