Home Improvement - Chapters 3 & 4

Chapter 3 - Carpet
 The carpet layers showed up Monday morning and by 4:00pm they were finished.  Yes, I can actually dig my toes into the new carpet.  That's what I told the guy I wanted when we bought it.
 We like the way he finished the stairs.
 You can see the vacuum tracks when Mom vacuumed it.
 It all works well with the new railing.
 It matches up well with the tile in the bathroom and the new wood flooring in the kitchen and dining room.
Chapter 4 - Furniture
 This is probably the biggest change.  Mom loves it.  The pillows came with it and add a splash of color.
Mom and I just finished putting this bookcase together out on the deck (it came all the way from China).  She had the idea to put it in the corner of the dining room and use it for the books we use the most (scriptures, Clive Cussler, Louis L'Amour, Etc.).
The painter cannot pre-paint the doors and trim until later in October so we are at a standstill for now.  We are excited about everything so far.  We just walk around with big smiles on our faces.  Love the smell too!
