Q:I don't think it would be a good idea to have one in a dorm (harder to clean, etc.) so what should I tell my roommate? She won't give up on trying to convince me.

If your only reason for not wanting the rug is that it would be more difficult to clean, then agree to get a shag rug only on the conditions : 1. she purchases the rug (which will then obviously be hers to keep once you two stop living together); 2. she cleans the rug; AND 3. she doesn't get bent out of shape if you think the rug needs cleaning and you then ask her to do so. If she is trying THAT hard to get you to okay having a shag rug, then I'd let her do it, as long as she knows that it is her responsibility to clean it, AND that cleaning is subject to both of your subjective opinions on cleanliness.

Q:I have just this cheap low shag carpet in my boys room I want to put down some wood planks. I don't understand why I would have to remove the carpet, it's so low it's not plush. Not quite as bad as commercial office carpet but pretty close to it. Can't I simply install the fllor over it, what's going to happen if I do?

Only can you install laminate over carpet if it is a very short napped, glue direct to the floor commercial carpet. Any other types and the locking system will fail because of to much move ment caused by to much cushion. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. I ve attended several installation seminars as well as installed a couple 100,000 s/f GL

Q:Ok so i want to get new carpet in my basement and on the Home Depot website it says that youcan get any size carpet for only $139, but idk if this includes taking the old carpet out. If not, then how would i do that, and/or how much will it cost???

The ad is to install the carpet, not purchase. You'd have to ask Home Depot if the install also includes removal and haul away. It may not for a special deal. Removal can be fairly easy if the carpet was not glued to the floor. The easy way is to peel back a corner. Tack strips are thin slat with grippers nailed to the floor that have spikes on the top to grip the carpet. Once you get it off once section, the carpet is easily taken up. However, get a carpet knife and cut them into sections for easier handling. Often the carpet is NOT under the baseboard, but right at the bottom. Letting a putty knife or screw driver under there will probably loosen it. Remove the carpet and the pad.......pads are cheap and you want a fresh clean start. If the carpet is glued down.......well, you'll need a heavy duty flat scraper and start scraping. You'll also need a carpet glue solvent and plenty of open windows...at least. You may need breathing protection, getting the birds out of the house, etc.

Q:2 days ago our carpet started leaking. None of our pluming goes underneath it which amazes us. We have no money for plumbers or anyone to check on it. We do have a water heater next to it but its in ground. and we check on it every 2 days and there are no leaks leading to it.

Here's a checklist to follow mate 1) if wettest spot near external wall, check your roof gutters, has it been raining recently? Gutters or Downpipes blocked? 2) if not near external wall, check roofing/tiles, recent rains? Cracked tiles or tile capping? Loose sheeting(if applicable) 3) is it near bathroom? If your shower or bath faucet has a leak behind the tiles it can run down the inner part of the wall and emerge metres away, follow the wet carpet trail (wear only socks as it's easier to feel) walk in a circular fashion outwards from wet patch, if harder to find change socks and stand for a few seconds each step to give water time to seep up (tissues or toilet paper are good too) 4) Check all taps, tap washers (easy to replace and about 20cents each, shower heads and tighten if needed, Teflon tape to seal 5) check that all taps are turned off and go to your water meter and see if dial is turning, if it isn't you have no leaky plumbing, if it is you need to investigate every inch of roof and basement if you have it, 6) check your washing machine hose is situated in drain and that it isn't split, spilling over etc, are your fridge and freezer defrosted regularly? Mate it's water, if it doesn't smell the health risks are very minimal, though mould is a problem, air house out and keep towels down till fixed, hope you find the leak, good luck
