So ever since we got into our new place, the carpet in future-baby-Smith's room had a terrible smell of wet, dirty dog, due to the previous tenant and her live-in dog living in that room. Not only are Jon and I allergic to animal hair and it makes our eyes itch like crazy, it's also a little disheartening to think of anyone having to stay in a room like that--especially a brand new little person. So after wrestling with our landlord on it for some time, we finally gave up on hearing back from him, tore the old carpet and padding out ourselves, cleaned the floor, and went and put the skills my dad taught us (by carpeting the living room) to good use.
One trip to Home Depot and a couple hours later, the smell was completely gone and replaced by a new carpet smell, complete with extra padding. Finally. And just in time...we laid it the night before Jon's sisters and their babies got here to visit us for a week, and that's the room they would be sleeping in. Check out our mad newfound home improvement skills.
