    I installed my first room of carpet today in a small rental house we acquired. I watched your video yesterday and I have to say I did have fun doing it. Your video answered a lot of questions and I saved money doing it my self and the tools were cheap,I bought them at an auction. Thanks for the video, very informative

    Just a quick tip if your working on a wood surface it's better to staple the underlay in before you trim in to prevent shifting and UN-needed frustration

    • @joshuamarroquin803
      @joshuamarroquin803 4 года назад +1

      No. Use padding glue

    • @Rock_Shady
      @Rock_Shady 4 года назад +2

      @@joshuamarroquin803 on concrete yeah but on wood theres no need to adhere the pad that hard to to substrate, staples are more than suffice and you wont mar your plywood underneath to the point of repair the next time its replaced like with a glue. Unless your talking like those actual little squeeze bottles of pad glue I would use them but they're not common stock around here
