I set up the mini came in the enclosed porch.

5. We practiced on the den carpet

It was old, fragile shag carpeting. We did wear masks.

I was just prying up some of the tack board that's next to the bedroom. Ugh.

Funny story. When we pulled the den carpet and had it all tied up, my brother realized he couldn't find his phone, AND it was low on power. So, yes, we unrolled until we found it.

Before my aunt died, I told her my plans for the carpet. This was once her house. She was VERY upset and instructed me to donate that carpet to her church so they could find someone who needed it. Admittedly it was very expensive carpet when it was first installed. Ugly as hell but expensive. 40 some years later (my aunt and uncle NEVER redecorated) the carpet is nothing more than trash worthy, although I'll use some to make scratching posts and cat bed liners.
