It's go time!
So far so good. Carpet pulls up revealing the underlying pad to be intact. Our friend Chris, who is expert in flooring, told us he thought the carpet was probably laid in about 1990, making it much newer than we originally though.

Once the carpet and pad were out, our friends helped us pull up the tack strips. Chris Gloriod in particular attacked them with great determination! Go Get 'Em Chirs!
Next we attacked the drop ceilings. Luckily they make special drill bits to remove the anchors from which the selling support grid was suspended. Even with the special bit it took a little time and a few trips up and down the ladder to get all the anchors out.
The good luck streak continued as the valances slid easily off the tops of the windows.
The floors are in need of a little work, but over all are in pretty good shape!
At the end of the day the crew celebrated a job well done.
