might want to put down wood flooring...but floor has carpeting glued
down...what's teh best way to get this stuff up?

Usually carpet glue is not too aggressive, after all, where's the carpet
gonna go? Moreover, the carpet probably won't be glued over its entire
extent; just the walls and a few splashes in the middle.

So, then, try first a couple of strong backs while chanting "Yo ho, heave
ho."

If that's not totally successfuly, then a tile scraper (long handle, 6" flat
blade) may get up the residual.

If THAT fails, then a pneumatic tile scraper - the proverbial "bigger
hammer."

I would try one of the so-called multitools with a non-toothed
scraper blade. *Much of it might just pull off ... as someone
posted, carpeting eventually needs to be replace. *BTW, you can get
the multitool knockoffs for $30 (Harbor Freight).
