Carpeting

Carpeting went in yesterday. Kristin chose a natural wool-blend carpet from Green Goods, backed with natural jute backing. The pad is made of recycled materials.

There were a lot of carpet options to choose from. The first one that we were thinking about using was made from recycled PET soda bottles, but we decided to go for a more natural feel. For the pads, you can even get old school jute underlayments, but they tend to be very firm, difficult to work with, and sometimes of uneven thickness.

We think it looks and feels good! It is a major step forward to see this completed.

The concrete guys are starting working today - by the weekend we should be pretty close to complete on paint, electrical, and flooring.
