J finally decided to come to his senses and rip out the nasty carpet we had in the living room. He wanted it done ASAP. Yesterday afternoon we toiled and ripped the sucker out. As we got part way, we realized the finish on the floor wasn't as good as the potions we pulled up to see how the floor would look. There actually is no finish left at all on most of the center of the room. Let us just say J was not a happy camper. I, on the other hand, was just relieved the carpet was gone. Yes we'll have to get someone in to sand and refinish the floor. Yes, it will cost a couple hundred dollars. It won't be done today, but I'm sure once it is it will look 100 times better than the dog hair trap of a nasty tan carpet that looked dirty 2 days after you shampooed it. We have an area rug covering most of it for the time being. I hope it is a while before I have to dig staples out of a floor again. What am I going to use my Kirby for now?

Ripping up wall to wall carpet is a miserable job! The staples.........they make me scream!
I'm sure the floor will look gorgeous once it's refinished :)
not a fun task! But, yep, hate carpet and dog hair!!!!!!!!
Kirby will suck up playdoh from your lovely finished floors-- don't send him away yet!
Bummer for now, but it is going to look really nice once it is finished!
You will be happy with the wood floor - someday it will shine!
a couple of hundred dollars beats a lot more than that to put in new carpet. that floor could be beautiful! and keep your kirby. i still vacuum my hardwoods. :D
