After nearly 8 years of wear and tear by two humans and multiple dogs
(two of whom took this carpet through puppy-hood!),
we decided it was time to replace the old tan wall-to-wall carpet. 
Rather than simply replacing the carpet, we opted to get laminate flooring in "knotty pine".  Of course, installing the new flooring made for some interesting adventures for three very nosy beagles.
Cleaning up, getting ready for the new floor
Mommy, the floor feels funny
Ripping up the old...
What a mess
Is the workman coming back?
Where'd all the carpet go?
It sure does look funny with just bare under-boards.
What's he doing out there?  Can you see?  Let me see!
The workman's coming! The workman's coming!
Wait! Where are you going?  Aren't you gonna play with us no more?
The finished floor - Living Room
Mindi checks out the new floor in the dining room and kitchen.
Looking from the living room down the hallway.
Not sure if they're singing praises for the new floor...or just howling for supper.
Looking down the hallway
Finished living room
Finished kitchen and dining room
And the final result is...
