So I pulled up the threshold, lifted the carpet, cut the padding back, moved the carpet strips back, and then made a trip to the DIY store to see what my options were. I purchased a new threshold and a 12x12 piece of parque colored linoleum so that I could try to fill any gap that might have been left in the process. After looking at the work I had done and laying the carpet back down to see how it all fit, I realized I wouldn't need the stuff from the DIY store.

Idiots On Parade
I don't know if I mentioned before but I have new neighbors in the house next door. It seems for the last two years the owners have tried to sell the house next door during the winter (which really isn't the best thing to do), and when it doesn't sell, they get desperate and rent it to a bunch of idiots college students. Let me start off by saying this batch is better (even with this weekend) than the last batch, and I haven't lived here long enough to know any before that.
So the new batch moved in a few weeks back and at first, they weren't too bad....stayed pretty quiet and didn't make an effort to piss off their neighbors. Well, as of last week, that is all past. Last weekend that had a huge party that started at 5:30pm and went until Campus Security showed up (yes, I live near their school) at 1am. The city police weren't called, in hopes that they would get the hint.
