    Hard work that mate well done deservers a beer !

    I had a similar size fluff roll to do once on the fourth floor of a town house with a daft staircase up the middle & struggled to get 4m to the first floor so when I said to the customer it was almost impossible to get the carpet to the fourth in one piece & with out damaging it he said...

    "Cant you get it through the window ? I've got a ladder !" Lol

    We had to hire a cherry picker but also had to have his window taken out as well ? Oh yes & it was big thick American gear propa nightmare lol

    Could you not have cut the width done, doesn't look 5m. Struggling on your own is such hard work, I've done it but always got the labourer now, too much hassle. How did the bullnoses come out? Big ones take time.

    what is that, sensation? So as we have had this karndean saga going on with the customer wanting to know if his fitter had done everything correct with the prep and install and hot air guns came up, did you use a hot air whilst fitting the opus?
