I've seen the video's on youtube, seem's painfully slow. Cut the carpet in 4 feet strips (for say a hallway or a 12 foot wide room) and pull it up that way seem's to be the quickest.

and the average cuts are 55 feet long. Then after that, you get to floorstone all the VCT tile that came up along with the carpet. Then at last, you can start laying carpet.
Thats been my life since aweek ago monday. Friday we'll finish up and I will be a happy man. I laid the original job ten years ago and apparently I did it right the first time.
They say there's no crying in baseball? Maybe so, but you can add floorcovering as well. We talkin' you better be tough!
