Do you have drop off laundry service nearby?
Probably? I've never had to look!

Oh yikes Jess! What a pain.
Question for y'all: I have carpet in my house. I do not want carpet. What is the best/easiest way to change that? I think about the options and they all seem incredibly onerous since I am currently living, with my furniture, in the house. Do people move out? Rent a storage unit? Does anyone have recs or dis-recommendations for flooring? I have no idea what I want other than "some kind of wood situation that is not carpet"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When we had wood flooring put in our first house ages ago, they moved everything in the kitchen to one side of the room to do half, and then once it cured or whatever, they moved everything again and did the other half.

Meara, probably a prefinished wood floor.

Dana, that's what I've heard from a few people, but it seems like it wouldn't work as well in a bedroom--I've got more furniture and less space to move it around in, it seems? I have thought it might be easier if I wait until my roommate moves out and then stuff could be moved from room to room at least.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We had carpet removed and replaced with engineered hardwood in the upstairs room in our old house -- we had to drag all the stuff in the room out of the way (iirc we packed up everything that was easily packable, and moved large furniture to the side and then back so they could do it in a couple of stages). Getting the carpet out is one of the best things we ever did in that house, even if it took some tetris.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I wanted to replace the old carpet in my house, I called Empire Today and they brought samples to my house, and they moved the furniture.

Don't forget the storage pods you can have dropped off to pack and then whisked away until you want it back. Great for moving day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got vinyl plank flooring -- relatively cheap, and the new ones look a lot nicer than some of older kinds.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have vinyl plank flooring in my kitchen and downstairs bath and I've been happy with it. It's stood up to messes well and still looks good.
Man, it's only Thursday.
