glue direct carpet on gypcrete

Hate that crap. I remember the tackless they made for that junk.

I did some apts for about 10 years. The floor was so bad I used #8 nails and nailed through into the plywood deck. The gypcrete had crumbled. My uncle worked where they made gypcrete blocks, think it was the 50s. He said the stuff only had a 30 year lifespan. They had to warn people that contact with dirt makes it crumble.

birdcages

 

[DarisMulkin]

Why is it when there is a birdcage that it has the nose of the step wrapped and the riser seperate but the rest of the stairway is waterfalled? If youe wrap one you wrap them all in my feeble opinion.

I always waterfalled them. they were a pain in the arse though .

I've only done one birdcage in my life in SF. They sold the customer a berber. The third job after i mived there. The previos installer got fired because he said he was short so he couldn't do the stairs.
I thought it looked horrible.
Back in 85' berber just made a comeback in the high dollar designers and being all wool.
I just winged it but this stuff was so well constructed you could easily do an invisable cross seam .
Then several years later at a CFI convention in K C Daris showed a few of us how us really done.
Even though Jim Walker started his speech we kept on with the seminar. I remember that like it was yesterday.
Anyway what was the question again?

Why would you put carpet in a bird cage.
Never done it, never will. Those ought to be wood.

Yeah, I don't see any of the $5 yard carpet that I install either.

Exactly. Just think how warm those samples will look against that cold concrete to a customer.

Daris

 

[Floorist]
