Carpeting complete!Step 1: Get a price quoteStep 2: Decide to do it yourself to save $$ for other projectsStep 3: Carefully remove carpet and use as template to cut the new carpet to correct size/shapeStep 3: Float a slick of obscenities and sweat across the Chesapeake Bay getting the carpet to do what you want it to. Step 4: Come to the realization that the quote you got was entirely reasonableStep 5: Call the pro back and pay for him to complete the job you started. Step 6: Enjoy a cigar...

Hopefully you didn’t have to pay more because you made mistakes. Been there.
 
Did step 5 cost more than what step one was quoted?!
 
The pro coming back to "save me" charged me $350 less than the original quote. A very nice, reasonable man.
 
We did it last summer. Salon and stairs perfect. The staterooms... they look great on the dark.
 
Two honest men!
