We heart Bamboo Flooring

Dan is steadily working on removing the last bits of carpet-related nonsense from Baby Coady's room to get it ready for the bamboo flooring installation. The carpet was rolled up and shoved out the window earlier this evening, as was the carpet pad (and there was much rejoicing!). Given that the previous owners had installed new carpet throughout the house, it's only 5 to 8 years old. That said, carpet is disgusting. I mean really, scary, gross, I-can't-believe-I-ever-put-my-bare-feet-on-that-thing kind of icky. Apparently, carpets make great filters for uber-fine particles. I'm sure carpet pads make great sponges for everything else (and the previous owners had a small dog).

Did we mention that we're installing bamboo flooring in the nursery? Yeah, this is why.
