2007 Is Not Beginning Well
Well, 2007 so far has not been good.
Our Christmas tree stand leaked for a month
, so when we assumed our tree was dinking a lot, it was actually dumping water into our living room carpet.
We tried steam cleaning the molded area several times, but the mold smell is strong. DH is unaffected by mold (no clue why), but the boys and I have extremely strong reactions.
Options, options, what are the options? We cannot afford to replace the carpet.
We can cut out the molded are and place foam in the hole and cover with a throw rug (tres chic, I know). We could try to peel back the carpet, take out the molded padding, and stretch the carpet, to the best of our ability, back in place. It will not be taught though.
Final option leave it and hope we do not suffer too terribly. Last option really is not an option.
So do we go with option number one or option number two? Either way, my living room will look gawd awful.
Anyone have any ideas on how to mask the tragedy that is about to happen up?
