[A/S] Cutting a Rug



Hi gang,

Well, my go-go days are long over but I can still cut a rug....<g>... 
literally! 

I spent the good part of the day cutting my w/w carpet out of my trailer. 
With Airstreams they put down the carpet then build the walls and furniture which 
means the carpet and pad have to be completely cut out.  

To say it was a bitch is putting it mildly.... but it's done. I've also been 
using needle nose pliers to pull all the fuzzies and padding out so it''s 
flush with the walls and cabinets. I'll have to put shoe molding everywhere after 
the vinyl goes down.

The good news is the plywood is in great shape..... there are some huge 
staples where two pieces of plywood were butted up and I'm not sure what to do 
about them.... maybe they'll hammer flat.

My back is killing me, if you attempt this be sure to have lots of Aleve on 
hand.
