Lazy carpet laying: Move furniture to one side of the room, install carpet in other side, move furniture over the roll (tricky) onto the new carpet.

The furniture rollers are useful, but with uneven floor it's best to use only three of the four, else one pops out when you hit a low spot :)

Not going to bother with skirting board. Don't want to pull out the existing and make a mess and don't want to put a second layer either. Mostly hidden by curtains anyways.

A room with big sunny windows. A cheap, thin carpet has been partially rolled out over half the room, the remaining roll on the floor revealing part of the boards. A crappy old TV furniture with TV on top is deployed in the newly carpeted corner. Two handmade plushies guard it from either side. There's some tools on the floor and a thin strip of cut off carpet. Pictures hang on the wall.

The carpet is in the living room. That counts, right?

Actually it turns out we'd never moved the crappy TV table that was in that corner and there was still lots of mouse poop under it. The old man was throwing poison everywhere but the mice ran wild anyways. That took some time cleaning up.

This is the nicest room we have. The log walls are plastered with clay mortar, which somehow isn't cracking like mad, so the wood must be moving less than people claim.

Corner of a room. Two windows hidden by curtains and a wooden floor painted in "floor paint" which is always this colour and only this colour (a fake looking shade of brown). Two pictures hang on the wall, a hand painted cat and some dude on a horse stabbing a lindwurm. There's a new carpet bundled in the otherwise empty corner. Some cables peek out from behind the curtain.

Oof, long day. But, amongst many other tasks, we got a big piece of cheapo carpet to throw down on the living room floor so the cold air stops seeping up between the floorboards.

Of course buying the carpet is the easy part, clearing out the entire room to lay it is the "fun" part.

It's from a 4m wide roll (we hoped for 2m wide), so there's no doing it one strip at a time either :)
