What brand of broadaxe did they use?

 

[Mikey P]

Gobs of glue all the way around.

I had to anchor it down so I could clean

 

[Nate The Great]

Now what would really impress me is if he did it with a straight face.

"Yes, ma'am. That will be three !" I sure as heck can't do it.

What a horrible mental image.

 

[Mikey P]

Was it as good for you as it was for Jimmy?

LOL! I've been admiring Kellie's handiwork so it makes this patch attempt specially funny.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Lol!!! I'm sorry Mike but I'm dying right now! Are we gonna have to do a patch contest in Atlanta?!

 

[Kellie Hiler]

In all seriousness thought, not all patches are going to look perfect. You only have so much to work with in some situations and it is what it is...
I've done a few that I had a hard time walking away from.

I've done a few that I had a hard time walking away from.

Kellie, in those situations might I suggest you run???

 

[Charlie Lyman]

Wow. $300?
I will say that that carpet can be more difficult to repair than carpet with a longer nap. But, I am almost positive that the patch is turned the wrong way. A little straighter of a cut and making sure the tufts weren't tucked under the seam and it would have looked 100% better.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

I also would've gone further over to get rid of that pink spot.
But it's possible Mike did not have enough carpet to work with?
The nap direction looks good it's just cleaner carpet. That gap is concerning though.
Not sure why you had to use glue @Mikey P? Do you have a Kool Glide?
As long as you give the seam tape ample time (15 minutes max) to cool and set you can clean right over it with no issues. I wouldn't necessarily rotary over it like a beast but a wand would've been fine. But that pink stain is right on the edge of the seam..

 

[Mikey P]

I dont do repairs.



It was coming up on two sides so I hot glued it down so I could run the RV over it.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Gotcha! Whew!

 

[Nate The Great]

I was gonna say Ray Charles could do a better repair than that.........

 

[Kevin B]

Its hard to say the condition of the donor piece and maybe he could only run it one way because the slumlord that hired him only gave him that option. I mean, this place had a state inspection tomorrow and we patched it with some piece that didnt match. It was like patching a pissed on turd. Got 3 full canisters just off the living room lol!!

 

[Kevin B]

The little black pieces are feces

 

[Desk Jockey]

The state inspectors?

 

[Kevin B]

The state inspectors?

Yes, subsidized housing. This is a partial subsidy meaning they have some subsidized and some full pays. This one apparently is subsidized and apparently she is too broke to pickup poop
