When my man gave 3 different ways to hit a nail in a small space like that I knew I was on the right channel. I’m 7 mins in so far and exactly what I’m looking for.

[@user-ld3mb9uu8o]

I've watched quite a few clips on fitting carpet and this is absolutely the best by a country mile. Nothing has been taken for granted, everything has been explained. Showing how to fold the carpet is amazing. I had no idea how to get a 4m roll of carpet up a 130yo cottage narrow staircase. Thank you so much. I now feel much more confident in taking on the task in hand. Your both legends! 😃

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks so much, glad you found it helpful 😊

[@69lepew]

Fitted my first carpet last weekend, I wouldn't have even looked at trying myself until I saw this! Fantastic work guys, keep it up!

This is a very useful video. Way better than the BNQ official video. I spend way too many hours to lay a carpet but then was struggling to lock the carpet in place. I am going to try again after having watched this.😊

[@modernNeanderthal800]

We bought a house in this beautiful town but it is desperate for renovation. Our master bedroom will be complete tomorrow thanks to this perfect 10/10 carpet installation onboarding video 100% would start a business after watching this if i were 20

[@Mourad1EL]

Some of the best tutorials on KZbin, started with your detailed garden room, well done lads, keep it up

[@homeimprovements]

Much appreciated

[@nashinnovations]

I used to scoff at the side cut. then the other day I had to fit into a finished wood reducer. came in clutch. this is why I like watching my trade in other countries. well done.

[@TattssOfficial]

This, this is the way tutorials on KZbin should be explained. As an autistic visual leaner (apparently it's not pc to even call myself the R word 😅) I need clear instructions and explanation. I've just fitted my home studio carpet after watching this (4 to 6 times just to lock that info into my brain 😂) the carpet is perfect so honestly boys, take a f***ing bow 🙌💪🔥💙

[@TvvinkleToes]

Love the accents and the instruction. I’m preparing myself to install carpet in my son’s bedroom if my husband keeps putting it off.

[@dat6057]

I appreciate you both!!! I watched other videos first and felt like I was missing something; so I watched one more! By far the best guide! Five Stars!!!

[@homeimprovements]

Awesome! Thank you!

you guys make it look so simple. Soon I will have to do it myself . Thank you for the tutorial.

[@rord7891]

Great video. Put my 1st carpet down. Looks great. Thank you! You didn't warn me about the bad blister from using the bolster though! 😂👍🏻

[@johnhayes5242]

Great job lads, and good instruction. Nice to see you didn't cut the Vs off around the pipes, was one of my pet hates, I was taught to tuck them in. I learnt 40 years ago, and probably 1 in 4 of the carpets we fitted was an Axminster, so had to get the pattern straight, and pattern match HSL it was great to see the back of patterned carpets the job became a lot easier and faster, if it makes a comeback fitters will recall the good old days when it was all twist.

[@JR-1983]

Yes I remember that, I was always taught to tuck around the pipes so if the radiator was ever moved it was an easy repair. I also remember when fitting Axminster folding the bottom rise on a step so they could be moved if they started to wear. All man made rubbish these days.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks mate 😁😁😁

[@JohnP1077]

Amazing techniques... So generous... So entertaining... You both are so down to earth that you made me feel like 'I' accomplished something 😂

Thanks so much for this video! I don’t know why we Americans are opposed to taking off our shoes, but I definitely will. This is a fantastic video. 👏👏 I did notice the audio was a bit messed up. The sound kept switching from L to R and wasn’t synced in all places. Hardly an issue with such a great video. Cheers from Texas!

If you guys buy a power stretcher like the polls or bear claw it will actually stretch the carpet and ripples won’t appear after words

[@whoshatwat]

I’ve fitted thousands and used a power stretcher a couple of times, no need for them if you know what you’re doing, no ruckles ever appear on my jobs.

Great talk MC! My bro! I like that. You've actually opened up my mind to consider that AI could really become conscious. As much as I've been resistant to that idea because I'd like to think that my consciousness, which seems to be emergent, is special, I can't really say it is or it isn't. So therefore how could I say that AI may not reach or is not already conscious!?

[@jonneym]

Good demonstration but I just bolster the carpet into the skirts then run the knife along at 45 deg. Along it in one sweep. Quick bump with the carpet thumper, jobs a gooden. An average longe only takes about an hour to do.

Absolutely correct about shoes. If i cant wear em, someone else is going to install. Good installers watch where they step.... No mud, mou automotive oul spots, no dog do do. By the time youre unrolling the carpet ant forieng residu has been walked off and thf shoes are fine. My toes cannot handle the lack of support. 49 years and still no carpet damage from wearing shoes.
