Thank you sir

[@RickP-ky3yj]

I will use this instruction for my next project. Very well done. OK?😁

[@wajeehhuweih5320]

Great job sir I appreciate sharing this informative tutorial You are a carpet legend

[@stevehammond]

Excellent video - can't wait to give it a whirl!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Good luck, my friend. I’m sure will be great. It might take Few tries but be persistent and don’t give up. You will get it down pat

[@roccolondon3747]

Excellent video Rueben. It's easy to see that you love what you do and you do what you love and you are very very good at it thank you for another great video

[@fredtowns78]

Steps like that come out real nice when you sew the corners!!!

[@ericcurrence8477]

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@nategreat6934]

You are extremely skilled

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you sir

[@shaunbrowne5139]

It's easy when you have shag pile carpet to hide the join. How do you do this with axminster or any patterned carpet. You would ruin the pattern look. Also shouldn't you seal the cut edges with latex adhesive to stop threads fraying in the future. Have a look at possibly cutting a 90 degree cut at the corner and hand sewing it. That way you won't notice an angled cut if you have a join in patterned carpet.

[@blacksunshine5539]

Great job! I'd like to see an advanced version of this video on how you would do this same step with let's say a berber or a pattern carpet. Or like a 3 or 4 set of rounded steps

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I am going to have tons of step videos coming

[@kayneadams8705]

I second that especially with a Berber

[@trucsivad777]

hey Ruben, how do you carpet round cascading stairs with no bullnose? i have an example

[@nategreat6934]

I just received my items I won in the giveaway! This man is legit! And so professional ty so much!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Awesome, I can’t remember what you want but I hope you like it

[@nategreat6934]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys I won a jet scraper blade and the tack strip spacers

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@nategreat6934 Awesome, now you’re gonna like that blade and I hope that you like the spacers, those things come in handy if you want some really really clean work

[@nategreat6934]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys clean work is the only way to go and I loved your new video your my go to floor installer KZbinr and you are very unique because there are not many install channels out there

Well done. This guy knows his craft. As an aside if I may; fibers are the individual strands that make a yarn.

[@robertromero8692]

Excellent work.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you sir

[@jedg3]

Thank you so much for making this

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You’re welcome

[@FlooringAfrica]

Hi Reuben, how about doing these technical carpet installs over cast concrete steps etc? Not using the pin gun should make it rather different install technique.... I would guess you would glue it right? Love your content.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You don’t have to, I recently did one concrete with pad and tack strip

[@FlooringAfrica]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys and all the tacking around the open corner return? How would this be done or are you just applying extra tack strips to hold cuts in place? Sorry, I'm a total noob when it comes to carpet...

[@michaelneal6920]

Dude! That was awesome! You helped me so much. God bless!

[@mcgphilo]

Your a good teacher great job

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I appreciate that!

[@realestaterider]

Great video thanks I'm doing a movie room platform this video was spot on for the step up.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

That’s great, glad it was helpful

[@realestaterider]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys man it was thanks, platform came out looking like I knew what I was doing. Best of luck to ya

[@jerridhawkins8133]

Looks great. Didn’t use latex was surprised you didn’t.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I really considered it

[@dieseldown]

I was looking for a video like this a few weeks back to see how people put carpet corners on glass tables.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

👍

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

Do you have a video of Multi-pule box steps that you need to do a wrap on?

[@scflooring8658]

Great video brother there isn’t many videos of this art and a lot of people have a hard time with this specific skill! But great job explaining how to do it very simple and easy to follow for beginners! Definitely the easiest carpet to show this with. would be good to see a Berber video because Berber is a whole different animal! Keep up the great work!! From one Northern boy to a southern boy

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you, I guess I will have to do a barber then 😉

[@monkeyswift100]

I like your tape theory 👌 I'm gonna try it because logical and scientifically I can't see it making a heavy traffic area stronger than an untaped area

[@flyfisher4life1]

Good video. Can we get a video on capped steps with spindles?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Soon

[@ayygoldy]

How would i do this box step but with a bullnose on the step

[@wblestherlagunas904]

Hey Ruben can that be done on a step that has that bull nose?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Not like this, has to be done a little different, I will be doing a video on that though

[@philipgalati9571]

We also stitch box steps and bullnose bottom stairs in the uk👍

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I have actually been practicing stitching them the past few days

[@philipgalati9571]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys we put copydex adhesive on the stitching and rub it into the backing to help stop fraying and loosening 👍

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@philipgalati9571 😀👍

[@fredtowns78]

Try carpeting all four sides?? Using one piece of carpet only!!!

[@maynorramos493]

Ok nice work everything is even can you show a video where all the steps are not the same with and high ???? When everything is square the job is easy but my house is not new it’s old and nothing is square!!!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Being out of square won’t matter a bit while doing this process

[@maynorramos493]

I like your videos u know what you doing ... also you need to do a curved stairs.. your work shop looks good and your videos looks better.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@maynorramos493 Thank you sir I will definitely be getting to doing some round ones

[@shawnmoore5621]

Greetings, hope all going well!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes sir, and likewise

[@jcrenovation3208]

Can u do a video with berber carpet

[@jbailey2478]

You dont want to watch this done with berber......it will look like crap no matter what

[@NzRasengan]

Nice man. Have to say, I see this done poorly a lot of times especially on thinner carpet

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yup

[@sagittarius_sq4]

That’s called a water fall step & the other way that you installed the staircase behind you is called a cap and band. Most called the cut that you made on the far end a envelope cut.

[@shannonward9489]

Why didn't you cut outside off when you cut the top of the step then you wouldn't have to cut that you could have just folded it down and stapled I've been doing at 20 years it's much easier if you just cut it off how do you kick it up earlier and left it on the strip he cut it all just cut it all the way off does most time when you do that if you in a tight spot turn your wrist too much some people highest cut it short just cut it off when you cut the top of the step you doing good your way just like that one video I seen every what you feel comfortable with that's what my dad always used to say but I like all your videos too pretty cool I have won a lot of stuff from you and they work easy to cuz I was doing up for years now if you want to fuel your videos and it makes it a lot quicker and a lot simpler but always cut that top of that stuff off but like you were saying what's ever easier for you all right man I like all your videos broke

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I actually considered that when I made my cut , But I don’t do that myself so I did not want to throw that in the video

[@quirozfamilytv7962]

Audio needs work. I appreciate your work though

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you buddy

[@gordonjenkinson460]

Nice job ,but you made it so painful watching, why do you need to use a strecher/kicker on a step,nice look but I just fitted 2x bedrooms while you did that!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Any kind of carpet that’s going over a pad except for a double stick should always be stretched no matter where it is

[@TheSavagedave]

Wtf you waste so much time and effort and make it incorrect in the long run. I am the guy that has to come back and fix these stairs later.

[@TheSavagedave]

Check my Instagram davidsavagefx

[@jbailey2478]

I agree.....that stair took way too long to install....

[@frijolito2123]

You are watching too much trim and tuck. You have changed your carpet blade for the multi purpose blades. Lol.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Love my shark knife

[@rugmanbob]

i made the cuts than i sewed the 2 sides,

[@cathysouther1245]

Great job! I just have a hard time hearing you.😢

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Sorry about that

[@monkeyswift100]

American carpet fitting is brilliant compared to the UK!! But your gripper and underlay (tak strip and pad) is shite!!
