That has to be a joke right? Anybody that would think that is the way has to be as dumb as the guy that is showing it.

As Bugs Bunny would say "what a maroon".
Did ya notice he's using seam sealer instead of bubble repair adhesive?
I think for the consumer, it would be better if they'd put all of their furniture on one side of a room, then slide it across to the other side and leave it there. That would do a lot better job at eliminating wrinkles the crazy method that guy used.
I really don't think it was meant as a joke. Funny as heck, and still pretty spendy if he had very many wrinkles.

WTF ?

That's what Daris said.
I did a restretch today in a triplex. Two rooms/6 hours. Beat me to death. Carpet was a tight commercial with a pattern and 4" rubber base. The tackstrip was set close to the wall, so I had to remove it and place it farther from the wall............... I double stripped it to make it easier to stretch and tuck back in. One room was 14 feet by 16 and the bedroom I only stretched in width, about 10 feet. I managed to get an inch out of each room, in each direction I stretched. 134 feet of metal had to be replaced.
It was commercial carpet over 7/16, 8 lb rebond. The shop keeps selling heavy 7/16 pad for every install so they only have to stock one pad.
I should have bought a gallon of Roberts seam sealer instead to save time.

At least they used jute pad instead of 1/2 inch rebond.

Around here it would be 4 lb 3/8 rebond. I remember putting 1/4 foam in some apartments.
I might have your hallway beat.......... I'll elaborate on my bank job in a new topic.
Thats hard to believe, isn't that home of the divine God of carpet installation?
I woulda thought all the installers there are certified by now.
Don't get me started on him.
Heh. Had the pleasure of meeting him once in Wichita.
Was the only flooring shop (star lumber) I've ever worked for in this state
that even cared about learning anything about installation
I worked for him.
