Next up is to get rid of the 30 year old brown carpet and install some dark wood style vinyl flooring.

Normally this color is special order but I just happened to come across this one box at HomeDepot for $38. It tucked nicely under the cabinets without having to lift them and is screwed down on one side with the silver sliding door trim.

I highly reccomment the Allure flooring as it was very simple to cut and install. All I needed was a tape measure, knife and straight edge. Total time was approx 2 hours and the longest time was removing the carpet from under the cabinets as I didn't want to lift them out.

Here is some of the debris that builds over 30 years from the rear bench. I also found 2 bullets from a .357 Magnum along with unlimited dog-hair and kibble! The biggest improvment after this upgrade is there is no more "old carpet" smell and it is super quick and easy to clean.
