I was thinking of getting a rolling stool for furniture painting and I think Ill get one for this project to roll along after I get the first strip up and to pull up the tack strips as well. Slow and steady with a great plan wins the race!

Thank you for the very informative and educational carpet removal video! Cutting the carpet into chunks and rolling and taping has made disposal so much easier! I'm removing carpet from a 1950's home and there's hard wood underneath the carpet. Since I can't do a room at a time, I'm taking out the tack strips but leaving the carpet and pad. I'm just doing small sections at a time for each step. I've found that I can take out the tack strips and nails and let the carpet re-cover the edges until I have time to cut and pull the carpet. Then I am tackling the pad and staples last.

What was the name of the scraper? Or what do y’all suggest to remove staples? I pulled up carpet from my walk in closet and installed peel and stick vinyl planks.

I’m ready to tackle my room.

When using the multi tool, you have to push into the teeth (not from the side). We learned that using a sharp razor on a utility knife (on the backside of the carpet) works best. Let us know if it works for you as well. -DIYPC 😃✨
