Hello everyone.. We purchased our 1970's home in 2002. Kids are grown and gone and i'm getting around to some very long over due tasks. Pulling up old carpet from steps leading to the basement/garage. The garage also had berber carpet on it when we bought the house ( A previous owner removed the garage door, walled it with a single entry door turning in into a bedroom, I since demoed the wall and installed a garage door to keep my car happy ) I removed the berber carpet that was glued to the concrete, you may be able to see some remnants of glue on the concrete in one of the photos. But, this is about the steps, Back on topic. Sorry. I have wanted to pull this carpet for some time and finally got around to it. You can see what it looked like on the landing. So, it was glued and nailed, uhg. I scraped much of what i assume was the carpet backing with a putty knife and floor scraper blade. I'm curious what would be recommended to further remove the glue from the steps, so that i can paint them and add strips of Non-skid or other material. Thankyou,, Ron
