I made a list of 33 things I want to do before I turn 33 in June 2014.  See the full list here.

5.  Get our carpet cleaned.  A few years of normal wear and tear plus several construction projects have left it in rough shape.

———————————————————————–

It’s the most wonderful day of the year!  By “a few years of normal wear and tear” I really meant that the carpets hadn’t been cleaned since Chad bought the house…5 years ago.  And, I’m pretty sure the previous owners had pets.  They were in rough shape.  Sorry, everyone who has ever been at our house.

But, today. Today was carpet cleaning day.  I got a couple of estimates and went with the guy who was cheapest, who also happens to be the closest to our house.  Who also happens to own a paint ball company.  So there’s that.

2 hours later, and you guys.  It’s amazing.  The carpet looks (and smells) fresh and clean and the big weird stains that I pretended to ignore are gone.  Hooray.

Exhibit A of the nice clean carpet – weird spots in the guest bedroom upstairs.  Gone.

Exhibit B of the nice clean carpet – weird spots (and feathers…don’t keep extra pillows under the bed, I guess).  Gone.

I couldn’t be more pleased.
