I have a captain's bed that needs to go upstairs too. The room would have to be cleared out first. That is my holdup.

Yeah, it's been needing to be replaced for a while.

I think the carpet in our bedroom where I want to put some in is original from the late 80's when the house was built.

I camped last night. I got in 3-4 miles hiking in light rain. Was really warm when I laid down. I covered with a sheet and used the sleeping bag like a blanket. About 0300 the cold front blew through, and I had to get in the sleeping bag.
Didn't do shit at the house today other than take a nap after lunch. Came into work an hour early to set up our new printer. Got that done. And the wife called about my Federal Grand Jury Duty. Recording said I didn't have to report in the morning or check back in next week. Might get something done this week now.

Our bedroom needs painted also (someone needs to decide a color), plus replacing the baseboards to cover the laminate. I think I need some warmer weather before starting it. I don't think I can cut the laminate with my miter saw, it is too wide, so I would have to run out back and use the table saw for every cut.

If I get wide enough baseboards it'll cover any non square cuts with it...lol

I did that ... made a double jig one time that allowed me to make nice panel crosscuts with my Skilsaw. I built me a nice waist-high table of a 4x8 sheet of plywood with 1/2" of styro insulation sheet underneath. Easiest panel saw ever.
I used a many-teeth carbide blade, but found that the thrice-as-many-teeth carbon steel blade worked a treat.

Did that 2 yrs. ago and the wife decided the color.
Then after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint, she changed her mind.
She only got 1 coat of the new color. I had to paint 4 other rooms, fortunately that only happened once.

There's 2 secrets to good pancake. First, use buttermilk in your batter. If there's not buttermilk in the recipe, throw it out. 2.Medium high heat, lots of BUTTER and let it brown before adding the batter.
This is my go to recipe, I cut it down to 1/3 the ingredients and still get about 10 pancakes out of it.

I think I would hand her the paint and brushes after the first time, and go fishing.
