Time to Travel: Sept 11-14, New Carpet for Tim and Steph

Mike and I hadn't done much for Tim and Steph in the last year (blame the grand kids) so we took a couple of days off work thinking Mike and Tim would work on his fence that encloses his yard. Mike thought he was going to replace some posts, power wash the fence, and maybe restain it. Notice how I always just hang out while the guys are always working? Anyway, in the meantime Tim and Steph got new carpet which was going to be installed while we were there.

Because of the bad weather Mike and Tim weren't able to work outside so we spent a lot of our time moving furniture for the carpet installation. Steph was at work when the carpet layers were there and unfortunately the kitchen was so full of furniture I wasn't even able to help prepare dinners. Darn! The carpet layers didn't finish until late Friday evening and we thought for a little while that a tornado was going to come thru right where Tim and Steph live. Fortunately, the storm went a little north of Tim's home but for a while we were glued to the TV for tornado warnings.

The weather broke for a little while on Saturday long enough for Tim and Mike to replace a few posts in Tim's fence and the rest of the time was spent trying to put together their home again. Amazing, what a mess everything is when an entire house is recarpeted. There was furniture in the kitchen, the storage room, and even the garage. Here's some photos of the new carpet and Tim and Steph's home especially for those of you who've never visited him.
