Happy Independence Day! Let freedom ring!
How are you spending your day, or holiday weekend? I'm a glutton for punishment and am using it to get some work done on the home. My primary project for today and the weekend is installing new carpet in a three season porch. I'm going with carpet squares. I used them in another three seasons porch and it went great. Hoping for a similar result in this porch. Hopefully the link works for a look at the finished product in porch #1:
New carpet installed in three seasons porch
I've already got the old carpet pulled out and the room mostly empty. I got the room cleaned up this morning and am now putting chalk lines down to guide the installation. This is where I slow down and make my plan. I've got almost an inch of slop around most of the perimeter of the room where the carpet hides under an electrical channel so the fit doesn't need to be exactly the wall. You can't see it once it's tucked under the channel.
