Re-Carpeting Grief
Hi, all.
I'm new here and hope to learn a lot about mending and maintaining our small house. First off, I had the place re-carpeted in March. Afterward, I kept finding stubby nails around the house. Putting the telephone cord back between the baseboard and carpet, I discovered a gap under the carpet at the back door threshold. The edge of the foundation was crumbled there, and the carpet concealed it. The store had hired a couple... kids... to do the whole job, move stuff and install the carpet, and I think the older one had installed carpeting strips around the edge of the rooms with *masonry nails* !!! I can't say for sure that he damaged it, and I can't see how much damage there is without pulling all the carpet edges up. So, my questions are... 1. Is that a common way to install carpeting? 2. Is this something I can live with -- should I worry about it or forget it? 3. Is there any way to repair these edges? Thanks for your attention and ideas. JPM |
