    I used your video on removing baseboards and removed them all on my main floor and entryway in preparation for new flooring installation. I didn't break any! I am 65 years old and not DIY skilled at all, and am very proud of myself. :) Thanks so much Shannon! I love your no nonsense, clear directions and tips! Next, I'll remove my carpet, with your help.

    3 years ago I removed the carpet from a large staircase and I have to say it’s one of the worst jobs I had ever done. They went staple crazy when they put the carpet in. Every inch had 2 or 3 staples. Hellish job getting them all out. Thanks for the video Shannon.

    This video is great! I plan on removing the carpet from my basement stairs and I would like to simply patch the holes lefts from the staples and paint the stairs. What product do you use to fill the holes? Also, can I just prime and paint this type of stair or do you have to change everything? I am not sure if my idea is ok. Thank you!

    • @HouseImprovements
      @HouseImprovements  4 года назад +3

      You can patch the stairs with a wood filler and sand ,prime and paint if you like. Many of these types of stairs are not really pretty because they were built to be covered up but usually with some patching, caulking and sanding you can make then look pretty good.

Is there a joist or something in the middle of the stairs which i can track and screw into to stop squeaking?

The specific one you linked is out of stock but at first glance, it looks like there's more than a few others that are white labeled under different brands. While I'm at it, do you have a link for an olfa knife? Replenishing my tool kit and want to use your links.

The red coloured bars are the ones I prefer there are a few sizes. I believe the ones I use the most are 10".
