The floors uncovered...

There is carpet throughout the majority of the house.  I've never pulled carpet and figured "how bad could it be?"  Rip some carpet, padding and tack strips out.  WRONG!!!  I did not know about the staples.  OMG!  It's quite possible that I pulled 14,000 staples between 1:00-10:00pm yesterday.  Wrists hurt, fingers hurt and my legs hurt *insert whine here*.

Before:

 Pulling Staples:

Staple free!  Three bedrooms, 1 hallway, 1 dining room and 1 living room.  Whew!
