Carpeting should have been installed much earlier in the room preparation process and is properly identified in the room preparation project worksheet located here.
I used indoor outdoor carpeting purchased from Home Depot. It's a medium shade of gray which i think will go well with the black valence and fascia. No padding was installed underneath but i did install several pieces of heavy mil plastic under the carpet in two areas that had some light water seepage to prevent recurring wetness under extreme rainy weather.
I used two 12 foot wide sections, one 16 foot long and one 12 foot long. The two sections were carpet taped together to form one continuous length. The carpet was cut around the furnace and water heater.
I also took this time to cover the glass block window located in the east wall with a navy blue window covering. The material was stapled to the 2x2 inch lumber used as the header for the compression stud wall, and tucked behind the stud.
The train room is starting to look complete and is certainly a morale booster to me.
