Who likes nasty worn out carpet?
Not me and I bet you don't either. Unfortunately, our kids kinda spilled some glue and other unmentionable items over the last 6 years (in addition to the fact that we didn't like the color).
Carpet removal can be a lumbering job but I put together a checklist on what to do to make it easier. Plus, you'll want to check out the subfloors to make sure your new flooring has a safe place to reside.
And on top of all this I assembled a complete step-by-step video for all of us DIYers who don't mind getting a little dirty to save money. Here's the link to my post for with the juicy details.

Lin Mulhern on Aug 28, 2013Just an idea on what to do with old carpet....I've used it in the garden to make weed free paths. Clear the area, lay the carpet in strips to your desired width, cover with woodchips and stepping stones and it looks great and lasts for years!
