Good luck trying to get the carpet back off those stairs when you want to decorate. There is enough staples in that carpet to stop you from taking it up and using it again. Also why are you stapling the carpet to the smooth edge on the tread? It is there to hold the carpet in place, hence no reason to use staples. A lot of work for no reason.
Why do you have a tack strip on the riser above the first tread you do? It didn’t look like you did that with the rest. I am tackling my stairs and your video was very helpful. I was just wondering about the tack strip. Thanks for the helpful video.
Hate when guys use tack strip on basic steps its unnecessary and actually harder and useless with small pile carpet! Plus it takes twice as long and doesn’t secure or make the step any tighter! Dont do it this way pleeeeease!
Never seen someone start at the top of steps putting carpet. Lol don’t look bad though. And he’s not putting carpet and the riser. Cause he’s doing contour steps which don’t call for pad and that part. Don’t look bad at all though.
