I actually didn't think it was that bad. Looked, little drop of blood, no biggie. Grabbed the pliers, went back to work. Thirty seconds the pliers slipped out of my hand. I was like WTF?!?! Looked down and my hand was just smeared in red. :D

Ugh.....ALL carpet is out, only pad is left on the stairs now. Going to finish it off tomorrow night after a 14 hour day between the two jobs (0730-1630 and 1700-2130 straight from one to the other).
I HATE pulling all the damn staples on stairway padding.

LOL! Stairs are the fucking worst!!!!! Before I got into sales thats all I did was deliver the new flooring and rip out the old. Ive been stabbed by those staples so many times I cant even begin to count, probably gallons of bloods Ive lost over the years. Whats worse is when you kneel on one!
Want no part of that. I made sure I wore shoes and watched wherever I sat or kneeled very carefully. I screwed up while I was cleaning the back room a few weeks ago and stepped on a board w/a nail, driving it into my heel to the bone. No fun there.Quote:

Killer! Got home from the AZ today and my 3 month pregnant wife had done the stairs! All I have to do is sweep, and load what's left in the truck for disposal! I may be able to relax late tomorrow night.
we have taller carpet up stairs. not sure what its called but its taller than normal stuff but not shag. its a pain in the ass to vacume i'll tell you that. but it looks great and is soft.
downstairs there is burber(sp) and i don't like it. i guess its ok for a game room/ extra living room but once we finish the rest of the basement i'm tempted to go a different route.
our house was a display so we didn't have any input on that stuff.
