Weekend work, episode 3

On Saturday friends Don and Carroll come to reclaim their table, which has been residing next door on loan for more than a decade. They also relieve us of a shelving unit that has been in the front bedroom for a while.
Inspired by this, we progressively clean out the front room, moving the bed into the garage, moving all the bits and pieces waiting to be installed by the plumber into the garage, and finally ripping up the awful old brown carpet. This last task proves to be the hardest, as at some distant point in the past, when the fireplace was removed from the front room, new skirting was place on top of the old carpet, so that it was slightly higher than the skirting on either side. We can live with the height discrepancy, but prising the edge of the carpet out from under the skirting was a near-impossible task.
On Sunday we go shopping, again, back to the Good Guys to order washer and dryer, and to buy the ducting for the vented dryer. We even look at fridges, but don't make any decisions.
