For our second day, we decided to go around the house and check all the outlets and change the lightbulbs so we could finally see what our house looks like... Now the whole place is equipped with the low energy light bulbs, that we picked up at Habitat for Humanity a few days ago for 1.5 dollars for a pack of 4 (isn't that an amazing deal ?... Well, we thought so too, so we bought 10 packs).
After we were done with that, we started taking out the carpet on the second floor. It took a bit of time (especially to take out the hundreds of staples that came with it...), but the place looks much better now and along with the carpet, the nasty old smell is gone too !! Let me tell you one thing : it is amazing what you can find under an old carpet... numerous pennies, old batteries, the carpet installers old razor blades, pens, combs, you name it, we found it.
