Since I’m going to be looking to sell our house when I go back to school, it’s more or less constantly on my mind. I’m always thinking of what could be done to make the sale go smoother and what potential buyers might have an issue with that I can fix now.

I’ve known for a long time that I need to do something about the carpet in the front room, but I didn’t know what exactly. I wasn’t sure whether I should put down new carpet or try to clean it and see what it would look like. Well, I’ve actually decided to go with something completely different. I had heard from some people at work that they were selling some laminate flooring for 69 cents per square foot over at Lowe’s. So while I was out the other day I stopped by to see if it was still that price. This is what I found:

I ended up buying 42 cases of the oak style laminate flooring and 10 rolls of the underlayment. I’ve never done anything like this before, but I figure I’ll learn how. I’m going to have to rip up all the carpet and a small area of linoleum and then put this down. Hopefully it’ll not only turn out well but also help sell the house easier. What do you think?
