Anyone know how to lay carpet?

Was going to do laminate flooring but decided to put carpet back. Just going to glue the carpet to the floor like it originally was. But might need some pro help?

Speed, what kind of carpet, what kind of adhesive, and what kind of subfloor are you dealing with?

Were there carpet tack strips, or did you remove the tack strips along with the old carpet?

Are you puttting down padding, too?

Getting the right amount of carpet stretch in a "direct glue-down job" might be a PITA.

 :rofl:

You can figure all that out when you get there :P
