I hate carpet. I hate carpet even more when it's put on stairs. It's too easy to snag your foot and send yourself into a heap on the floor. Carpet also does not win points for me in the allergy catagory. With a husband who has asthma and allergies to dust and pets.....can you blame me? No thanks. The carpet on the stairs to the basement has been bugging me ever since we moved in. Two days ago I decided to do something about it. The carpet itself came up pretty easy, but It's taken me two days to get 3/4 done pulling tacks, staples, and scraping foam carpet pad off each step. I keep telling myself, "It's gonna look great when I'm done.".
The next step will be to sand a putty like a mad woman so that my paint job will look fresh and new and clean. The dogs are afraid of the stairs right now, and who can blame them. I've pin cushioned myself a couple of times on the carpet tack strips as I tore them out. I wonder what I should paint them........
