This thread is for stuff ups that you caused and were able to fix. I'm not talking swinging a buffer through a wall, more the pulled threads, small burns etc.
Tony's comment in the Bleach Spot thread got me thinking along these lines. Mikey also showed one not long ago where he skidded a chair acorss the room and the castor had broken and left a skike that pulled tufts that he was able to repair.
I've had a couple myself that stand out.
I was cleaning a nice sofa for an upmarket client and she wasn't home. My dri master must have got hit and had a small burr on the face. First run and it pulled a thread about 3" before I saw it. I was able to pull out my carpet needles and re stitch so it was invisible.
Second was a rental I had to repair a small 2" pulled thread and then clean the carpets. I was vaccing the whole joint so I could see the carpet and bang the dyson got the pulled thread and turned it into a 4' run
I wasted about 4-5 hours re doing that one.
