Getting Ready For New Carpet

My dad paid for new carpet for my house as an engagement gift, and now I am preparing for the installation by moving all of my stuff out of the areas being carpeted and pulling up the old stuff. I could have paid extra to have someone else do all that, but I never feel right paying someone to do something I am qualified to do. I keep debating about how much time it will take me, because I don't want to have it all torn up a day and a half before I even need to. I do have plenty of help available if I need, though.
