Waterfall upholstered or Hollywood style?
We would have made a good team. You do sts, I’ll do flat work.

I feel the same way. There’s a lot of detail and it’s all right there in front of you. Nothing is hidden behind a couch or somewhere out of sight so you have to be on your A game. I think that’s why I love building out trailers. Theres a lot of detail in a relatively small space.

I was self taught. Went from bottom up. All the old guys went from top down and carpet was always loose.

That was over the top irreverently funny, if that makes any sense …, I hope they left reverence at the door, so they could enjoy his craziness.

It would have come out better if they had laughed along with him.
.....they didn't seem to see the humor. Hollywood eats their own I think. I mean, where did Ricky go after this?
It was hilarious. He's a funny guy no matter the venue.

I. was taught to go from the top down, let me tell you they weren't by no means loose. We even turned both sides under on solid steps.

I fixed many a loose stair-tooled step through the years. Kicked-on was much tighter.

Technique my man, technique. It's all in the wrist.
Top down of done wright is a shoulders, chest, hand and wrist workout.
I've never used a kicker. When going top down, I start center out to the left, then center to the right and with 80% of my body weight bearing down on the carpet tool, I was only hooking about 3 or 4 pins per each downward motion. Tight doesn't begin to describe it. When walking down a set of stairs your foot applies downward force, so that's the rational I had in my head, continuing the method o was taught. It's crappy technique that causes restretches on stairs.
.....and boy have we all seen a lot of that over the years....or decades.
In Daris's case, centuries.

 

[highup]

His timing is really gooood.

 

[DarisMulkin]

Thats it pick on the old man. I was taught top down, no kicker. I paid off once. I installed a L shaped upper hall and steps in one piece, it was a pattern.

If you were to do that job again, would you do the stairs separately?

 

[DarisMulkin]

If you were to do that job again, would you do the stairs separately?

No!! But the job failed as a certain pattern was susposed to be in the middle of the steps which I didn't know about. I went by what was told on the drawing, where to start etc. The store owners wife and I got into it and I told her take me to court, I have the proof in the drawing. End of that account, but I did get paid for it.

...good ending but almost sorry I asked.

Thanks Darris, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to run with that statement and share a site that provides some insight on the subject. …..Facts and Beliefs,

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...ly-is-belief-and-why-is-it-so-hard-change?amp

If everyone on both sides, Confederate’s and Union soldiers should be honored because they both believed in the cause, then IMHO that means no one was wrong, and if nobody was wrong, then we should or could conceivably forgive everyone who participated .

Now ! If we take that concept and apply it to today’s issue’s, doesn’t the same
‘ Nobody’s wrong ‘ belief apply ? And if so ! does this new understanding today provide us with more forgiveness tomorrow ?

No need to be it was a **** acc't anyway, had to always chase my money.

No need to be it was a **** acc't anyway, had to always chase my money.

I'm measuring a room and don't stairs tomorrow 30 miles from town. They had carpet installed by Lowes (140 miles away)
The carpet was installed 3 times, each time a failure. They ended up refunding her money.... So she got the carpet job for free.
Still doesn't like it, but it's been on for 2 or 3 years, so it's time to buy local.
.....on the phone, she doesn't sound like one "of those" customers.
I'm thinking it was a one day slapper down and get home job with 280 miles of travel involved.

 

[highup]

.....I meant, a 3 day, 820 mile job

What are the chances?
