[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 247695, member: 217"] Yes unless you have the proper tools like kicker, seam iron, seam cutter, carpet cutter and carpet tucker. If you have an older house with rooms that may be out of square then a carpet stretcher will be needed. One thing is always make sure to stretch your carpet pad as you staple behind you. The caret strips should be atleast a 1/4 inch away from existing base board and atleast 1/2 inch from wall with no base board. Laying carpet like any other job can be done much easier with the help of the right tools. After the flood of 97 I helped lay carpet in GF for cash on the weekends. Also make sure to lay carpet fibers standing up into the room you are installing which means the main doorway when you slide your hand along the carpet fibers the fibers will flatten down one way and stand up the other way.
