Long story but start with most recent problem. Is there a problem with the way this pad has been installed and the bubbles. Will these be able to be smoothed out when carpet stretched out ? They edges are glued and stapled.

If push comes to shove cut them and take out the excess and tape the seam back up. But most times the weght of the carpet will flatten them back out. That is what happens when pad gets put down one day and carpet a day or so later. No biggy.
Looks like crap. I replied to you on another forum. Do not let them put a T seam in the carpet because it is too heavy. I have carried in 70' rolls by myself.
Daris, on another forum, he said they wanted to put a T seam in the room because the carpet was too heavy. They said it needed a "relief" seam. They are "slop artists".
Looks like they should have unrolled the pad llengths that were needed, and let them relax while they put down the tack strip. I think they ought to attempt to pull the pad loose around the edge then stretch out the excess material it will definitely grow and most of those wrinkles I assume would flatten out.
Even if that carpet was really heavy and it took six people to maneuver into place it would be much preferred to do that than to cut the thing in half. Personally I would entertain any options but cutting the piece in half.
