carpet and clean up

the old carpet in one of the rooms.

seriously, how does it get this bad?  they do know that the apartment has a toilet, right?

i had to scrape it down to the tiles- a fresh start!

not too bad for my first time laying carpet!

as a novice, i didn't even want to try and form fit the carpet to the closets- so i just left the old stuff in there!  the only bother was trying to hide the space between the old and new carpets.

problem solved!

this was by far the hardest part- bridging the gap between the vinyl flooring and the carpet in the living room.

finally, after renting a tool that could drill into the concrete, i was able to put the metal cover on!
