Project Erica - Part 7: Erica Gets a Carpeting

A lot of different things have happened in Erica's world over the last week. It started last weekend with the carpeting of the walls - a task for which Mick took responsibility, as it didn't seem sensible for both of us to don the necessary PPE. 

Neither of us has ever carpeted a wall before (nor used 4-way stretch carpet - a necessity when one has odd-shaped things like wheel arches to cover) and with the task requiring both wall and carpet to be sprayed with contact adhesive, it's not something you can keep redoing until you get it right. 

If you want to see how it went, and what the end result was, here's the video (just over 9 minutes - but you can always speed it up) of the activity:

  1. It's all looking pretty professional. I think it was a good idea to leave that carpeting to one person - well done Mick.

    1. With Mick now being our resident expert on 4-way stretch carpet, he will of course become responsible for that job at any time in the future when we find ourselves needing to use the stuff again (not that we currently anticipate any such requirement!).
