Day 1: Master Bedroom Floor Before and After

After we completed pulling out the carpet in the living room we moved on to the master bedroom. First of all let me say this room is freaking huge. It’s like 14 x 16 or something like that. Crazy size for a bedroom. Considering our current bedroom has a tv crammed in the corner and a bed it looks like we are going to have to buy some more furniture.

I can’t believe how easy the carpet in this house is to pull out. We pulled out carpet in another house we lived in and it was a nightmare. This is a breeze.

Before: The carpet wasn’t really stained, just dirty. That’s what happens when two years worth of dust builds up in a vacant house. It smelled pretty bad so of course it had to come out. It took less than 15 minutes to get the carpet and padding out of the room.

Middle: And then we discovered that the carpet had been put in over peel and stick tile.  Lovely blue and white peel and stick tile that looks like this.

What’s weird is that there’s is a large void in the middle of the floor where there is no tile. The original hard wood is there with tile on 3 of the 4 side. Good news is that the peel and stick tile will come out pretty easily, once we have a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive.

After: No carpet but still some ugly tile. Could be worse though.
