My brother like how you are teaching us an customers that i know they look at videos on carper installation before there install an giving them a better understanding of this ❤ thank you again
I love the way you're doing these videos, keeping it simple and short. Almost all new installers or trainees are learning from an existing installer.... .... Who also learn from another existing installer. Good practices are passed on to the next generation, but so are bad practices. As with everything in the world, rules are made to be broken. Before breaking the rules in certain situations, you need to know the correct methods in order to make that call. I seal virtually all of my seams. With hot melt there's no drying time. If you have a 6 by 7 walk-in closet a some reason there's a 6-inch seam along a back wall, it doesn't really need sealer because it will never be stepped on, almost never be vacuumed, and it will be covered with boxes and shoes or overhanging cloths. The doorway seam going into the closet absolutely needs seam sealer. This is where judgment comes in. ......ok, and now back to this tack strip video. This is what guys need to learn. You're showing the correct way to do it. I've seen tack strip cut with a hatchet. I've seen people put one piece of tack strip across the face of a door casing 😖😖😖 What you're showing here is even more important with low profile and woven carpeting. I think your new videos are great, especially for the young guys that are just starting out I'd have never had 'real' instructions.
Man, thank you for that. I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that out, and I can agree with every thing you are saying about the trade and practices being passed down, I also appreciate the feedback on these new videos. I’m glad they are being liked
And you are right about that, the store owner wants told me to stop being so picky about my Tackstrip and I could get the job done faster, I said, if I don’t, the job will not be done to the standards that you or I like, Tackstrip is very important, and a lot of people don’t realize that
A lot of people don’t want to do this work themselves, because it’s too physical. A man told me the other day that he installed carpet in a small room (DIY), and said he would have paid $1000 for someone else to do it, if he had it to do again. Lol.
That’s OK, the information is out there. People can do with it what they want. Thank you for hanging out so long, you have been around for a while now.

Do you ever reuse tack strips already in place when tearing out old carpet and reinstalling new?
Very very rare, most people do not install it proper so probably 99% of the time I tear out and re-install my own
Wow what a great video 😉😉😂
Aww thank you so much

Thank you Jerrid I appreciate it my friend
Teaching people how to do your job is not going to raise rates lol. .
Teaching people how to do installations the right way will raise their rates if they will do it the right way, I am living proof of that
