The worst part of this job was getting the old carpet out.\u00a0 What a mess.\u00a0 There had obviously been a dog in here that had used the carpet as it’s potty.\u00a0 I had to scrub the floor really good and make sure there was no odor from the dog before I put the other flooring down.\u00a0 Have you ever tried OdoBan?\u00a0 That stuff works great.\u00a0 It smells good too.\u00a0 Go to cleancontrol.com if you haven’t heard of it or are interested in where to get it.<\/p>\n

My landlord took the old carpet away for me.\u00a0 I had no idea what to do with it other than to take it to work with me and put it in one of the dumpsters but luckily, they took care of it.\u00a0 The rest of the day was spent putting down the under pad and the laminate floor.\u00a0 They even let me borrow some of the tools I would need from work to do the job.\u00a0 That sure helped a great deal.\u00a0 I didn’t have the right kind of saw.\u00a0 I needed one that would sort of lay down on the wood when it cut it and would also be able to cut angles.\u00a0 It made the job go a lot quicker to have the right tools.\u00a0 They even let me borrow a small air compressor (I have got to get one for myself because they sure are handy) and an air hammer to put down the molding.<\/p>\n

I started at the end where the ceramic tile is in the kitchen.\u00a0 It matched height wise perfectly.\u00a0 I was afraid it wouldn’t but it does and now there’s no lip going into the kitchen.\u00a0 The color of the wood is perfect too.\u00a0 It’s a light color and really makes the room look a lot bigger.\u00a0 The carpet was a dark green.\u00a0 I didn’t like it at all.\u00a0 It was stained, and now I know what some of the stains were, it was ripped in one corner and it was ugly.\u00a0 Well it won’t be ugly much longer.\u00a0 I’ll have it totally finished tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Oh, this is what a gallon bottle of OdoBan looks like and you can get it at Wal-Mart.\u00a0 Trust me, it really works at getting rid of any odor you have. I haven’t found one it won’t get rid of yet anyway.<\/p>\n
