I'm so excited! We are finally going to be replacing the carpeting in our house! DH and I went to a local flooring store yesterday and spent probably a good hour looking around/talking with staff. We can re-carpet our whole house for right around $3000. I don't know how this price is in your areas, but I'm pretty stoked about it. The materials will cost around $2,200 and the labor another $650. We are getting memory foam pad... yes... I'm pretty sure our crappy builder-grade Berber carpet doesn't even have a pad under it at all. I'll be totally shocked if it does. We're going with a Shaw brand carpet that's much fuller and softer than what we have now. I think we'll be getting it installed over my Spring Break, around the last week of March. Yay!
