All the world's a carpet

Well, all the stairs anyway. And the landing.

Yes, the stair carpet arrived this morning as expected, and fitting completed inside two hours. I know there's a knack to fitting carpets, and obviously it's one that can be taught, but it still looks like magic to me. A very nice job they made of it too, with a complete avoidance of the type of problems we had with the other lot. Carpet was the right size, they didn't forget the underlay, etc.

So here's how it looks, and I couldn't be more pleased. As a handy side-effect the carpet muffles the last few remaining creaks (stair fitters did a reasonable job of screwing and gluing the bits they didn't replace, but there were still a couple of squeaky treads) as well as looking good and feeling very comfy underfoot. Luxury!
