If someone ever says, "Hey! Put new carpet in five of your eight rooms! It'll be fun!", just slap them.
If you've never had new carpet put in a house you are currently occupying, let me tell you, it is just like moving. In one day. Only you don't get a bigger space to live in. And you have to cram the contents of five rooms into three rooms. Three non-empty rooms. And there will be 4 carpet guys, who will work much faster than you, so you will go straight from finishing emptying the last of the rooms to be carpeted into reloading the newly carpeted rooms. And your shins will be so bruised from bumping into stuff while carrying other stuff, you will look like you have some kind of amorphous tattoos.
The Home Depot Carpet Guys will move 5 items per room. No electronics. No antiques. OK.
Only, we have so much stuff, that they had to put the ten things from the two front rooms outside. By God's grace, it was a nice day. I was half afraid people would think it was a yard sale, and would offer ten bucks for my bookshelves.
Only of course, I got online AFTER the carpet had been installed, and discovered the toxicity of new carpet. Great. So now I have windows open all over the house. Hope it doesn't rain.

Yeah! It's been sunny, if a little overcast, the last few days. At least God was helping you out by co-operating with the weather! Ha!
