Ever have a dog do this?

[jim]

Replace carpet in basement. Check.

Paint upstairs bedroom now that the carpet is out in prep of our hardwood floors. I'm on it.

Never paint a room before having floors installed, I found out the hard way.

Why?

Carpet removed from bedroom, bedroom painted now that carpet is removed, dog now not pooping obnoxious black goo. Check, check, and check.

The one installing the floor will poss. damage the walls. Luckily mine is covered by furniture, but I did some leave some marks installing mine.

The only time my dog ever ruined carpet was when she was a puppy. There was some nyquil up on the chest of drawers and nobody was home. She managed to knock it off onto the ground and somehow drink enough so that when I returned home she was passed out drunk and at her mouth the carpet was stained purple nyquil color and at the other end well, it was a different color.

Yep, we got rid of him the next day.

Why would you get rid of him? It's part of having a pet.

Unfortunately, I was about 15 years old and didn't have much say in the matter.

Now that I look back at it that was around the time I started to post at Cards Talk, wow time flies.

A long weekend of replacing carpet in the basement, painting, and getting an estimate for hardwood flooring is done. Once we get the flooring in, we only have the carpet in the basement. Everything else is a hard floor.

When you really think about it, carpet is exceptionally gross. It just hides all the dirt etc... It's kind of a pain keeping the wood floors clean, but at least you KNOW they are clean.

That is my next project - after the kitchen. I am ripping up all the carpet in my house and doing one of those composite wood floors. From what I understand they are pretty durable and the people who have done them that I've personally seen - they look great.

I am grossed out by carpet in general also.
