My parents are away for the week and today some new furniture is getting delivered. Last night i got rid of the old couches and now you can see how bad the old carpeting is. its about 25 years old, and the color green. What were my parnets thinking back then.

Anyways we were talking before they left that soon we'd go for new carpeting, but i figure i could possibly do it this week and suprise them before they come back, but i never installed carpeting before, just ripped it out in a friends house. I am a pretty handy person so i think id get the hang of it pretty quickly once i figure otu how to. Also are there and good local places here in northern NJ to buy carpeting. I figured out that i need 410sq ft. Any advice/input would be appreciated. Oh, and if it turns out to seem to be too much work then i wont do it, but whatever.
