The internet says I can't come over. I haven't had my 10th covid booster shot.
I'll have to look at it later I can't find my Instagram password so they won't let me view your stuff.

what is a bolster?

Sorry Daris. I belonged to a forum in the UK years ago.

These guys stretch carpet a little different than me. I stretch across the side of the room that has the doorway, then I make the seam and finish stretching. Keeps the carpet in the door from moving sideways.

I was looking until instagram wanted me to join. But anyway Everything looks great to me what I saw except one thing is kind of a burr in my side. And that is the straight steps are water falled but the rounded steps are cap and band. Why weren't the rounded steps waterfalled like the rest?

Nice ! With that video, I thought I was looking at a younger version of myself

Ben, do you power stretch? If not, START NOW ! My 62 year old hips, and low back wish I would have much earlier.

I’m going to start calling our pad ‘Cumulus ‘

Because it’s A pain in the A S S and no one wants to pay for it

Keeps the doorway from wrinkling in the center years down the road too. Seen a lot of those.

We call them winders, theyre all waterfalled? Only the bottom step is capped and band and thats because its either that or sewing it and new build homes wont pay for sewing

Yeah i have 2 power stretchers, our standards are a bit diferent to the usa, we only need to use them over 5meters or 16ft3. However i use them most of the time regardless of size except on a couple of carpets types we do that i prefer to kick.

The metals are similar to this (cant find a proper photo) but they also come in blue pink etc

I guess you dont mean the winders or pie steps as some call them?

The bottom step or on this occasion the bottom 2 are what we call a bullnose, and thats generally how they're finished unless requested and paid for to do it diferently.

Those look very nice.
That metal you showed looks pretty thick. Do you hammer down the metal? I'm guessing no?

No our metals are exposed, they have little spikes in them that hold the carpet in. Depending on what you pay you can get cheap flimsy ones or more solid strong ones
