What did you do today?

20 years ago they still made decent carpet
Some will get wrinkles easier than others. Pad type makes a big difference, room size and shape come into play and so does the walking areas.
If it was installed in the summer and it was hot, that might be a #1 reason that a kicker was successful.
A kicker rarely works so your installation is an exception.
Most carpets that I've restretched were done with a power stretcher, but using a stinger, not wall to wall stretcher tubes.

The stinger has kind of taken over the industry even though it is not recomended. If you got carpet that is 20 years old its should be time to replace it.

Editing take 2 :

That knee kicking job was 12 years old and it needed replacing, but what I’m trying to engage is ‘ how ‘ we do what we do, not the outcome.

So to sum up, we have three installation methods for stretch in Carpet. The Most popular to the least popular, Knee Kicker, Stinger Power Stretcher, and then the industry standard, Power Stretching Poles.

These three parallel methods traveling through the installation world are subject to choice or free will and without penalties, incentives or monitoring, acceptance of the different choices seems to makes good common sense…… Will criticism help? No probably not. We are creatures who respond more positively to praise, believe it or not. Consciously we may so no way, but subconsciously we react as yes !

SO ! ….What role do we play, as ‘ Standard Keeper’s’ in the Carpet Installation world? And ! In other areas of life ?

Interesting read. Kinda sums it up. Nothing personal, it’s just business.

Lies have different levels.

"I'm booked all next week"

(I'll be drunk all week, it's summer break)

"The Hilti hammer drill was in the tool cabinet last time I looked"

(Oh Lord, I hope they don't have a camera )

"I'm a rocket scientist, but I decided that installing carpet would be more fulfilling"

("I hope they don't ask which college)

Interestingly slippery and we’ve all been on that lying climb towards success, but once we get there, will we re-boot ourselves back to truth telling or will we make the association, lies equal success ? ….. and then, when Fred catches you in one, will you have to pay him off ? …. Reality is Slippery indeed.
