Hi,
I'm a first time home buyer in UK, and plan to do many DIYs and my first problem is how to fit carpet in my living room....

I've been looking a DIY book that at least covers carpet fitting, but couldn't find one with good details. Would anyone be able to give me good suggestion on (1) how to DIY carpet fitting, and (2) on which DIY books are worth buy?

Or, if there is any good carpet fitting website, please share the link with me! ^_^

Many thanks!

A quick Google found this, which seems to cover it quite well:

If there's anything you're not sure about, ask again.

Ah, easy. Buy one 6" coach bolt and a big load spreading washer. Put it
down right in the middle, tighten it good, and it'll stop the carpet
moving and twisting
