New carpet


I am so very glad this project is done!  In the summer John Lee Mangus came over and measured our house for new carpet and after we got an estimate,  I started looking at carpet samples.  I knew exactly what I wanted (same carpet as Todd and Emily) but he didn't seem to have it.  After looking at lots of other samples and looking at a couple homes with new carpet and not finding what I was wanting, we went to Billings and looked at some samples there.  I found some that I liked but its hard to see what you're really getting on a sample, so dad cut out a sample of Todd and Emily's that was in his office and I took it to John Lee.  He sent it in to some of his distributors and they sent us some samples back and we finally found what I was looking for but it was way out of our price range.  So we got more samples and finally decided on one called fossil.  It took a few weeks before we could get our installer here and even then, we had to wait for a time that Michael could be here to get the old carpet taken out and our helpers to help move furniture.  We couldn't do any of this without Michael's brothers!  They always help us when we need it.  Installation took a couple weeks and it was madness having furniture everywhere and kids sleeping in our room but its worth it and we love our new carpet. Phew
