Carpet and Paint

My recent eviction resulted in a house that needed a typical carpet and paint rehab. In this case, the carpet looked TERRIBLE, but was less than a year old. I spent most of yesterday steam cleaning the carpet; removing all the stickers that the tenant put on the walls; filling nail holes and small holes in the walls; and painting the living room. It is starting to look good again.

I will still need to steam clean the living room again (once it's dry) and paint most of the walls in the house. One thing I do is to always paint all the interiors the same color (Berkshire White). It is therefore very easy to touch up bad spots. Just use a semi-wet brush with Berkshire White and ugly spots are fixed.

Today, I'm going to get back to working on the doublewide project. I'll be installing another leaching line today and should only have 3 more days left on this project. Nothing too exciting this week as we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving on Wednesday and Thursday.
