answer: #Person1# wants to do the floor first, but #Person2# disagrees because the painting will drop on the floor later. Yet #Person1# is experienced and confident. They'll remove the carpet by themselves and then hire someone to restain all the wood floors, and get the furniture in about a week. #Person1# asks #Person2# too have the curtains made. Meanwhile, #Person2#'ll get someone to renovate the kitchen. Then they argue over who cooks the meals and they both think the other one should do it.
documents: #Person1#: I think we should do the floors before we work on the curtains and walls. 
  #Person2#: Why? It doesn't make sense. If we do the floors first, and then paint the walls, we will get paint all over our new floor. 
  #Person1#: Hmm. Maybe you're right. But I can't stand all this green carpet in here. And besides, I know how to paint. I will just cover everything with drop cloth. I won't get anything on the floor. 
  #Person2#: Are you sure? 
  #Person1#: Yes, I'm sure. I've done a lot of house painting in my life. And my mother was very picky. If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture, she would get furious. So I learned to be very careful.
  #Person2#: Alright. Then maybe we can do the floor first. These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful. And me too--I can't wait to get all this old carpet out of here. But how can we get it out? Do we need to call helpers?
  #Person1#: Absolutely not. We can remove the carpet ourselves. Carpet is held down with carpet nails. You just need to pull it hard and it comes up. 
  #Person2#: Great. Then, after we remove the carpet, we need to restain all the wood floors. Right? 
  #Person1#: Yes. But we should hire someone for that. That will probably be expensive. And it has to be done right. 
  #Person2#: And then, after the floors are done, we can start to move our furniture in. 
  #Person1#: Sure. If we can get an appointment with someone to do the floors, we should probably be able to have the furniture in here after a week or so. I can get all the carpet out this weekend. 
  #Person2#: So, after the floors are done, and after the furniture is in, we need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings. 
  #Person1#: I'm the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn't cheap. 
  #Person3#: You mean we can't just buy curtains already made? 
  #Person2#: Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take a while. Maybe a month or so.
  #Person1#: While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook in there. I don't want to use that electric stove. 
  #Person2#: We will need to find an interior decorating company do redo the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen of colors.
  #Person1#: I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners. 
  #Person2#: Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook. 
  #Person1#: No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room. 
  #Person2#: Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any 
  #Person1#: And you'll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right? 
  #Person2#: Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that? 
  #Person1#: Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.
