I’m about to do this in our 1926 living room. Wanted to make sure i wasn’t going to score the wood, so i found your video. It was not only helpful for my project, but entertaining! I love your sense of humor. Thanks!
I watched a few really great, professional, engaging videos about removing carpet, and they all had subfloor. Wanted to know what my hardwood situation would be so I wasn't surpised. You NAILED this video!!! I'm so glad I clicked on yours!!! I will have that music on hand for the big reveal in my house! LOL! Thank you; everything we needed in under 4 minutes. Love it!
So my new single lady self is getting ready to do this and you made it easy to understand... plus you're just freaking adorable. Happy to subscribe! Cross your fingers I don't die while trying to remove my old ass carpet!
Omg I absolutely love you!!!! Seriously you've made me laugh while researching how to do this, like, seriously!!! You're a breath of fresh air honey!!!
Helpful video!! ^_^ I'm currently stuck in the midst of this same project today in our 1950s house, and panicking slightly at possible asbestos sandwiched between the carpet and hardwood :(
I may be slowly dying from whatever in my house is poisoning me... yet another bout of online research led me to the concept of dust mites, and how carpet is the worst thing ever for those (and germs/indoor air quality in general). I was legit bawling with overwhelm about how I could ever possibly tackle a project like this by myself, but then I saw this video! Alex -- this video made me believe I can potentially remove the carpet in my house myself to reveal the hardwood underneath, but most importantly, I laughed more than I have in a very long time. And I may have needed that more at this moment! "It's never too late not to start." 🤣 This has sadly been my motto the whole time I've lived in my house, but it sure made me LOL at the end of this video. Thank you so much for this video!
Omg first time I watched your channel.. you are an excellent content creator... you had jokes, sex appeal, and so genuine ... kudos I'm a bc subscriber for life. ❤
Way to go Badger state girl, from one to another, hooray! Looking to do this in my living room, and needed a good pep talk to rev my 69 year old self up to do it. Thanks!
Ha I wish mine would come up this easy! The freaking back of the carpet or the padding, idk whatever it is sticks to the wood and it’s so hard to rip up and then pieces of the backing get stuck to the floor. 😩
great video 😂😂😂 no really it was informative but the humour was great also. thank you. I will give it a go. I you don't hear back from me I have fallen down a floorboard hole. 🙌🤸♂️
Informative and what a great upbeat personality, thank you for posting this video. Question: I have ( slight ) water damage that caused my low pile rug to ripple / buckle and what an eye sore it is. The length is about two feet long and approximately three inches wide and to make this worse I find myself tripping over it on occasion. I rent a one bedroom so removing the furniture is not an option. If it were up to me I wouldn't have any rugs at all but the landlord wants to keep noise levels up here low. Could you recommend any DIY's ? Thanks in advance 🌹
@@AlexWehrley Struggling with getting my ice cube trays in my mini fridge caused the rug to ripple in that area ... I’m disgusted because since then that little appliance has been given away and the ripple remains ... I had no say in the carpet that was installed about 4 years ago and when I realized it wasn’t a traditional bedroom carpet I had to “ go with the flow “ ... Keep my mouth shut and hate the texture of this rug when I walk barefoot so I don’t ... Walk on it with special flip flops ( dedicated to the room only ) ... Nothing I can do now as far as “ a goal “ ... I was thinking of a creative way of fixing the ripple ... I saw someone on TH-cam who pierced the ripple gently pulled it taught and injected a glue so the rug would bind to the padding but scared of piercing ... So sorry for the rambling but to make matters worse my landlord cheeped out and didn’t purchase a quality padding, ugh ... Thank you so much for your response, it means a lot .
Can’t believe people would cover up wood floors. That’s why I’m always hesitant to join in on any new “trend” that comes along because I have no idea how dated it would look ten years from now. I try to do timeless designs and not follow trends
I have wood floors in every room in our 1968 house and they're a huge pain in the ass with dogs and/or kids. The floors are beautiful but stained in many areas due to the previous owner using them for 60 years, despite their getting the floors professionally restored. On the day to day, I would very much prefer high quality vinyl planking that I could replace in the future.
@@meekaboi I'm a huge fan of hardwood floors aesthetically. But if you have a multi-floor home, be prepared for a lot more sound to travel between floors after you rip out the double layer of acoustic sound barrier that is carpet and padding.
You should be using a “cats paw” or nail puller with a hammer for the carpet stripping. The pry bar is more likely to damage the floors and isn’t the right tool here.
You are HILARIOUS!!! I am new here...I have a real question...I am getting to rip up the carpet....and the linoleum...and the whatever else that other layer is...what if mine are rotted...my floor is not bouncy...could they be rotten? My new neighbor found maple!!! He is flipping the house...and I found out mine have the same beneath! I want to use them so badly, but....what if they are moldy or rotten?!!! EEK!!! Please help meeeeeee!
First of all, thank you! And secondly, I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask. I'd get an estimate from a hardwood floor refinishing company. They should know if they are repairable!!
HAHAHA....I love it. By far the most entertaining.... and still informative : ) Music selection,choreography, quotes and humor spot on...pee spot possibly : ) thank you...subscribing : )
FYI, if you know or are hoping to have nice hardwoods underneath and the carpeting doesn't come up as easy is in this video (it rarely does), cut a strip out of the corner and use that as your starting point. And keep in mind tack strips are usually about 1-1/2" wide. So you've got that buffer to cut on, anything more than that and you risk cutting into that nice hardwood you're hoping to preserve. If you need a bigger pull cutout than that, just retract your knife blade so less is sticking out so you only cut carpet and not all the way to the wood beneath. And if you don't already have a pry bar, do yourself a favor and get a flat bar lick a Wonderbar.
Oh My Word!!! Great video tutorial! Alex....once you're done with the remodel you can do stand up!!!! I am priming myself to redo 2 upstairs bedrooms that have laid waiting for me to watch your video to free them from the carpet that covered their wide planks long ago......ewwwww so what exactly is in that carpet????!? Thanks for the inspiration and humor!!!
2 am ripping up my ugly ass carpet n I must say ....this channel is underrated your humor is A1.
Thank you so much !!
100% agree!
Soooo much sense of humor in just 3 minutes of teaching actually to get the work done! thank you! Loved it! :)

The most underrated comical how to video on TH-cam. Awesome!
wow thank you! glad you like it.
Very helpful and FUNNY! "It's never too late not to start" That's because I'm watching videos instead of doing the actual job!
SAMEEEEEEEE! I NEED HELP YALL!!!! I am scared to death mine are rotted...I hope they look like the one from the video!!!
By far my favorite DIY channel.
Quick prophetic moment: you will have your own show on HGTV in less than 2 years.
Love it !

Love your humor! I am removing carpet so this was helpful! I actually started from the floor vent because the carpet was so secure!
Haha Alex these videos are hilarious! Please keep making these. I came here to learn your tips and tricks and was not disappointed! Well done.
Nothing like a sense of humor to make tedious work a little easier. Thanks for the laughs Alex.
Who would have thought I would enjoy a video of pulling up carpet so much. So funny. So clear. Into it!

Thanks for the kind words! What's your goal? To reduce noise without rugs? You could consider peel and stick flooring.

Love it....you rock girl !! please make more
Thank you so much!!
Love these videos, they’re too funny
Fun and Helpful..How did you know there was hardwood underneath the carpet before you began?
The previous owner told me!
Okay we did it. Any recommendations on getting up the dark patchy areas? Don’t know the words 🤷🏻♀️.
I had to refinish my floors!
Yes. This is how a how to vid should be done!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!!
You should be using a “cats paw” or nail puller with a hammer for the carpet stripping. The pry bar is more likely to damage the floors and isn’t the right tool here.
Very helpful and to the point
When I see a lady remove carpet, I decide to do so. Thanks for your great job!
Thanks for the humor too lol. Appreciate the tips
Girl! You are fricken hilarious 😂😂😂😂
This helped so much! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
