Another one of my DIY projects was laying tile in my entry way. I was fed up with the condition of the carpet. There was no way to keep on top of the dirt that tracked in. Vacuuming and shampooing just didn't do it.
The scariest part was making that first cut in the carpet. There was no turning back once that was made. It was very liberating pulling the carpet up - like a clean slate.
It didn't take long but I was a few tiles short so I had to make a couple trips back to Lowe's. After I installed the transition threshold, stepped back and admired my work... I must say I'm extremely proud of it! All that's left to do is touch up the paint on baseboards where the carpet came up. Something I'll do when it's less humid out.
