We had a rather large job yesterday. A big house to clean and do some repairs in.
We had a 12x6 master closet to re pad and re install and another mid size patch. I set Shilo up and had him pad the closet. It was odd shaped and it took Mr. Perfectionist a while lol! But it was perfect!
While he did that, I worked on the patch. What should've been a simple patch was a PITA because the only spare carpet was an oddly shaped cut up piece that had been crumpled up in the corner of the basement. So the backing was broken and delaminated pretty bad and I had to fix that before I could even do the insert. I also had to glue a few doorway seams that were delaminating and separating throughout.
Then came the fun part....I had to pre treat the back side of the carpet that was going back into the closet. It should've been replaced but they just couldn't do it. Then I had to knee kick it all over as it too was loose and delaminating. I would've had Shilo do it, but I was training him and wanted him to see before doing a job that was not just a simple square room. Of course I forgot to take an after pic of the closet but it came out great.
Then we had to treat the whole house with OSR in the prespray as the black light lit up everywhere. We wanded this house because the carpet was too worn at the seams and thin and loose but it came out great and the homeowner was thrilled. She had sticker shock at the price in the beginning but when we were done she understood why and even gave us a tip.
But , I have learned that my knee kicking days are over! I'm feeling it today!
