The carpet in the carriage house was starting to look a little tired. And SWMBO wanted to change the wall color while we're at it.
It took a while to find the right ones and the decision was finally made.
With everything going on we also decided that I wouldn't do the painting. We reached out to the original painter who did the exterior painting way back at the beginning of our journey. He was available and we got on his schedule.
He did the bulk of the painting and agreed to come back after the carpet had been installed.
The carpet install went less smoothly.
First, there was a flaw in the carpet, but they installed it anyway.
Second, the installation wasn't great. The seams were very noticeable. Now, we know there are going to be seams in a space this size and we know that seams aren't invisible. But these were bad.
Third, as they we cleaning up, the vacuum caught one of the loops at the seam and unraveled the carpet. Noticeably.
It took a while to get the vendor to agree to fix everything.
And in the meantime we got a call from William the Painter wondering when he could come back to touch up after the carpet install. He understood the delay after hearing the story...
Eventually they aordered new carpet and got the install right.
William came back and touched up where necessary.
And all is good.
