I'm remodeling the bathroom and replacing the carpet in the house. I'm doing all of this myself because I'm a cheapskate and I'm a man, so for some reason I think I can do anything
I managed to rip everything out of the bathroom in about 4 hours, including the cast iron tub.
I ripped the carpet out of the hallway and O MY GOODNESS!!! There was piles of dirt under the carpet's foam. It was just disgusting and after looking at that, I'll never have carpet again.
If you've every lived in the south-west, you'll know what I'm talking about.
