Lifting carpets
I have a fitted carpet (2 years old) and need to get under the floorboards,
do some work and put the carpet back. I have access to a knee kicker, but how difficult will it be to make a neat job of getting the carpet back into place? -- Jim S Tyneside UK http://www.jimscott.co.uk |

Just tuck it down at the edges with a paint scraper |
