20180520 - Carpet Carrier

20180520 - Up way too early and G still has a fever. I got ready and headed to Grove City with a swing through McDs. When we got there the fields are too wet, won't play till noon... Home and relaxed for a bit before starting the day. J and I ran to the Home Depot to return some metal rods we didn't use in the grill repair and we got 6x8 carpet and tape to replace one by the steps in the garage and fluorescent bulbs. Home and J ripped up the old carpet and prepped the floor. I installed the new lights over the laundry area, secured the banister on the basement steps and then headed out to the patio and started popping up bricks that were unlevel and trying to make them a bit more level. J came out and helped. D got home from his friends and helped for 3 min and then played with a fishing rod until he went to a friends Graduation party... J headed in for a break and I cut the carpet to fit. Had some guys stop in and offer to the seal the driveway at a reasonable price, so I let them. Talked Doc into getting his done too. When they were done I yelled over to Doc "That's the quickest we have ever done that!' G still horizontal on the couch with L attending his every wimper. J&I went to Jack's soccer game, he played a lot but they lost 7-2, I sat by Jeff and we chatted most of the game. After the game J&I headed back to Home Depot where we returned the wrong carpet tape, got the right kind of carpet tape and a big 12x20 carpet for the garage. On the way home we drove through Panda Express to get dinner and then a stop at Panera to get chicken soup for G. Home and we all ate on the back porch and listened to G's team on GameChanger. After dinner J helped me install the carpet by the steps and then in the garage. It looks great and we are getting more and more ready for this party...
