In Response To: Re: Removing carpet (phil)

I was all excited to remove my carpet--back in August--I started to work on it--and after struggling in the heat for 30-40 mins--I abandoned ship-- A respirator is a must--most likely your carpet is holding mold spores which get released when you pull on it.. This is now on my list for winter projects---I am thinking a pair of vice grips to pull on the carpet--piece by piece and then grind down the glue.
Good Luck
