I am sooo paying someone to do the work next time a major house project comes up.

I say the same thing after every project I do, and for some reason I keep coming back for more punishment.

Haha, me too actually. The "paying" part is always where I get hung up.  ;D

I tell you what though, I am paying a pro to recarpet the stairwell. I don't want any part of it.

I also have a hill out back that has been overrun with creeping vine crap. I want to pay some kids to tear it all out so the trees can flourish again.

I am getting closer to finishing!

I paid my neighbor to carpet the stairs. He is a new construction installer that does huge ass mansion type houses. He had a remnant from a recent job, so I got rich people expensive carpet installed on my stairs, SWEET!
He did the whole comlicated job in 3 hours. Let me tell you, unless you have the tools and know what you are doing, hire a pro to carpet stairs. That was complicated as hell and he made it look easy.

I've also gotten a good start on the wood laminate flooring. That stuff is not near as easy as they make it look in the videos. Of course, maybe that is because I bought the cheap stuff instead of frikkin $4/foot Pergo. We are hoping to have the floor done by next weekend.

I "tried" carpeting my dad's basement stairs a few years ago and it looked so horrible it wasn't even good enough for his standards.
 :laugh2:

You're right Shardian, you gotta pay the man for the stairs!

shardian:
Here are a few pics I snapped with my phone last night. The flooring is going real quick now.
