It’s Canada’s birthday today. Mom and Dad invited us over for dinner.
Samantha ate at eight, twelve and six o’clock.
The salesman from Dream Carpets came to measure the house today. He told us he needed a cheque for all the amount not including the labour. Charlie told him he didn’t want to do that as he’s had problems in the past with companies going bankrupt and he didn’t get anything. The salesman was pretty annoyed and said you should have checked with the Better Business Bureau. He claimed his company was very reliable and he still needed a cheque before the carpeting could be laid.
When we told Mom and Dad we needed a cheque for the full amount Dad said no way! I explained to them that the salesman said they wouldn’t lay the carpeting without the money. They sure weren’t happy. Later I told Mom about the salesman saying Charlie should have phoned the Better Business Bureau. Mom said tomorrow I’m phoning them.
We went to Mom and Dad’s at four thirty. I fed Samantha after we had our dinner. We came home around nine o’clock.

Alex seems to be having fun playing with the other kids. I’m just glad I don’t have to go to the school to pick him up. I don’t mind going to the school but some of the mothers are such snobs it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t never understand people like that.
This morning Mom phones to tell us she cancelled the order with Dream Carpets. The Better Business Bureau said they’ve had six complaints so far this year and most of the people still didn’t get the job done right. Mom said she put a stop payment on the deposit cheque.
They asked us to meet them at another carpeting place. It’s call J & R Carpeting. What a difference in the two stores. Dream Carpets was such a dump, the ceiling was leaking and they had junk all over the place.
We picked out the carpeting and the salesman said he would be out to measure tomorrow.

The salesman came this morning to measure for the carpeting. He told us the baseboards should come off. Charlie doesn’t want to take them off.
Mom phoned to tell me the salesman phoned them. He said I don’t think your son-in-law understood that the baseboards have to come off. I said he told us it would look better not that they had to come off.
Charlie took them off but with a lot of grumbling.
Then the fun began we had to get everything out of the living room, dining room, Alex’s room and Samantha’s room. What a job it’s like moving all over again.
Anyways today finally came for them to lay the carpeting. Charlie had quite a few arguments with the layers. It didn’t help that they both smoked, luckily not in the house, they had their radio on and the one guy was singing away.
Alex, Samantha and I went to Mom and Dad’s for awhile. We all came back so Charlie could go to work.
The layers finally finished at six o’clock and Mom and Dad left shortly afterwards.
They had to glue the carpet to the stairs because of the ceramic tiles. The smell was something awful almost made me ill.

It sure is nice having carpeting throughout the whole house. Especially in Samantha’s room. The floor really creaked before the carpeting was laid. It was hardwood floors under the carpet. Alex would run down the hall and then slide the rest of the way into the living room. He also slipped many times on the stairs on the ceramic tile. I thought it was a strange place for ceramic tiles.
It’s going to take awhile to get everything put away.
