It wouldn't hurt to call a carpet layer and find our what they think and what they would charge. It would certainly beat buying all new carpet.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097200984534022356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-42892421543808451212008-03-14T16:06:00.000-05:002008-03-14T16:06:00.000-05:00Sharon- Funny you should mention that!

Apparently he's afraid we'll have seems or something.<BR/><BR/>I'm gong to make an attempt to clean it when the kids go to MIL's tomorrow. So far I've been a bit busy/lazy to deal with it. Plus I've been waiting by the phone willing it to ring.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-6867287749545095442008-03-14T12:59:00.000-05:002008-03-14T12:59:00.000-05:00LOL...priceless!

Someone spilled red koolaide on my mothers cream carpet she had some left over carpet that she had fitted into the damaged space and you couldn't see where it had been replaced. I had my kitten walk thru my paint pan this weekend and get paint all over his feet and tail and they take off. I was lucky because it was an unfinished floor and I got the cat before he got on the carpet. He wasn't very happy about getting a bath, but the next day he was again checking out the paint I was using, at least he didn't walk in it. Good luck with your carpet.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097200984534022356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-19059439400833693332008-03-14T07:56:00.000-05:002008-03-14T07:56:00.000-05:00Anna- Thanks for the tip.

I'm afraid though that even if I get the paint out of the top layers, wouldn't the pad underneath still be hard and stiff?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-1789913258808543372008-03-13T23:46:00.000-05:002008-03-13T23:46:00.000-05:00Hey---I have an idea!

Keep dabbing up the alcohol and I think it will come out. It may take a lot of alcohol--but it takes the pait out of clothes. Let me know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-17154636563182137162008-03-13T20:52:00.000-05:002008-03-13T20:52:00.000-05:00Oh, I forgot to tell you the BEST (or worst) part ...Oh, I forgot to tell you the BEST (or worst) part of all of this! They deny having any knowledge whatsoever about this issue. I guess the paint can opened itself and knocked itself over as well. I'm still working on figuring out a good punishment. I though about having them do work around the house to pay it off, but I think it would take them FOREVER to do that. <BR/><BR/>I guess I think they should be punished more for the pretending they didn't do it and lying about it than actually doing the feat itself. I'm just not sure what would go along with it to help them learn the best lesson.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-80769262089619987882008-03-13T20:48:00.000-05:002008-03-13T20:48:00.000-05:00Kathi- Um, yes.

Sheer laziness.<BR/><BR/>Gail- Not enough damage to really bother with. We're going to wait for carpet remnants to go on sale at Menards and then Cheesehead is going to have some friends come over to help us lay it. He's already been pricing it up.<BR/><BR/>It soaked all the way through the pad I'm sure since it's a never ending fountain of purple paint. No throw rugs for me. I don't want that to turn purple too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-61443691263872331112008-03-13T13:36:00.000-05:002008-03-13T13:36:00.000-05:00That is terrible...would your homeowners insurance...That is terrible...would your homeowners insurance cover it?

Isn't it amazing how your children can open a can of paint but I bet when they need to open some cardboard thingy they're right there saying "Mommy, can you open this for me?" LOL...I am so sorry that happened, I think you may need to get new carpet. I'm sure the carpet has soaked up all the paint to the point of no return. Get a camera from somewhere because these moments are priceless! :) Did they at least come and tell you or run away and hide :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
