Hubby and I are wanting to have new carpet put in throughout the entire house and I was wondering if anyone has ever had this done and if they could give me any advice.
Our 16 yr old Rat Terrier is incontinent (sp?) and has had many accidents in the house. We are tired of being embarrassed to have anyone over because we are worried about any odors. She has some doggy diapers on the way but the damage is already done so we need new carpets... plus, Tobie has done some tearing up in a couple of places.
Anyway, Home Depot is having a $139 whole house installation with carpet purchase but of course that doesn't include cost of tearing up and disposing of existing carpet, moving furniture... ect.
So if anyone has experience with this... these are my questions

How much do the "extras" cost? Would the money saved be worth us tearing up the existing flooring ourselves? How much labor does this REALLY involve? What do we do with our furniture while the carpet is being installed? Our house is only 900 something square feet and if we are having the whole house done where would the furniture go?

Gosh, having carpet installed seemed like such a simple thing until I really started thinking about all the little things. I'm going to ask Home Depot when we go up there but I would like to hear from someone who has actually gone through the process. TIA!
