- The latest #MKEbungalow project I'm tackling is removing carpet. There are hardwood floors underneath that we're excited to refinish. Here's how you remove carpet while keeping your precious floors underneath in tact.
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!
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!!!
Soooo much sense of humor in just 3 minutes of teaching actually to get the work done! thank you! Loved it! :)
yay glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
By far my favorite DIY channel.
Quick prophetic moment: you will have your own show on HGTV in less than 2 years.
Love it !
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!
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!
The most underrated comical how to video on TH-cam. Awesome!
wow thank you! glad you like it.
I am about to this right now, this very minute. YOU have made it SO much easier in my brain! Thank you!
yay! thank you!
How'd it go...
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!
Nothing like a sense of humor to make tedious work a little easier. Thanks for the laughs Alex.
Love your humor! I am removing carpet so this was helpful! I actually started from the floor vent because the carpet was so secure!
Who would have thought I would enjoy a video of pulling up carpet so much. So funny. So clear. Into it!
This was educational and entertaining. Really enjoyed it. Not boring like all the other DIYs
She is hysterical! and the video was helpful! I would have loved her do the the next steps in sanding the floor!
GIRL YOU WERE HILARIOUS: ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS... FUNNY, DESCRIPTIVE AND TOO THE POINT!!!
love the laid back and humorous approach. great job.
Thank you kindly!
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. 😩
When I see a lady remove carpet, I decide to do so. Thanks for your great job!
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.
Oh my!! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'll have to rewatch because I didn't learn much... too busy laughing.
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 :(
oh no, how'd it go? good luck and would love an update!
@@AlexWehrley No asbestos on our flooring, thank goodness (ceiling is another issue lol). We just need to stain the cedar now :)
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.
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!
aww thank you so much! good luck!!
The funniest and most down to earth personality on TH-cam. .. subscribed
This video alone made me a subscriber. Will definitely check in from time to time.
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!!!
Thank you so much !!
@@AlexWehrley 🙏😁
This is a great video! Thanks, Alex! I will not underestimate this task ... I am forewarned! Thank you!
I just found your channel and think you are hilarious. Just subscribed.
yay glad you're here! Thank you!!
Mate ... you are the best.
You helped me understand the process involved ... and the same time making me smile.
Great presentation.
A Coopers to you.
yay thanks! glad it helped!!
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!
Informative and very enjoyable humour!
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.
Needed this tutorial and the support since im doing it on my own! Thank u!
I'm in love with the sarcasm and humor. I just pulled my carpet today. It took me 3 hrs. So not fun lol
You're my new favorite person. Doing this THIS weekend.
That is the best home improvement video I’ve seen all month!
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. ❤
Omg! Funniest informative video I’ve seen in forever!!
omfg hands down funniest DIY Vid ever!!!!

You just made my day! Love your humor.
I'm so glad! Thank you!!
HA.. you are my fav new person.. hysterical.. keep it up
Your so funny....I just kept watching even tho I knew it...Thank you 😊
Aww so sweet. Thanks for watching!
I'm cracking up yet I'm informed.🤣😲
This was informative but also freaking hilarious!!!
Just the first 10 secs of the video I am now a new subbie lol
Haha welcome !
Immediately subscribed 😂 I just wanted to know how to get this tack strip up but you’re funny. Fastest subscription ever
So glad I found these vids. 😂
Good info.
Great sense of humor.
And adorably cute...
don't hate me for being honest!
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!!!
I love the rocky balboa gag there so funny
Very helpful and to the point
Love your commentary... refreshing. But okay, thanks.. I think I can do this.
Thanks for the humor too lol. Appreciate the tips
Girl! You are fricken hilarious 😂😂😂😂
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 🌹
Thanks for the kind words! What's your goal? To reduce noise without rugs? You could consider peel and stick flooring.
@@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 .
Yes. This is how a how to vid should be done!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!!
One hell of a humorous hottie.
Okay we did it. Any recommendations on getting up the dark patchy areas? Don’t know the words 🤷🏻♀️.
I had to refinish my floors!
Wow! This was a superbly fun, how-to, A+ tutorial! Bravo! A+ Acting! Kudos!
Thank you for making this short and entertaining.
My wife and I are thinking about taking the plunge. How long did it take for that one room? 3 hours? 1 hour?
Love the humor
Super funny and informative!
This was hilarious lol I love this woman lol
I'll be using "It's never too late not to start" quite often.
This make learning fun.
lol ... Awesome video - Love the humor
Greatest video ever.....
That was very good editing enloy it
I feel like…. I learned how to do this but also went on a trip… thank you
Oh Alex your hilarious 😂😂😂😂
haha thanks!! glad you enjoyed it
You my friend are hilarious!
Fun and Helpful..How did you know there was hardwood underneath the carpet before you began?
The previous owner told me!
I love this you made this job for me fun
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video!
Pls I picked this video because it was a woman and she turns out to be FUNNY best video I could’ve asked for
Thank you !!
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!!
Very helpful! You’re hilarious 😂 🤣😂
I'm so glad! And thank you!
I’m pulling up carpet in my daughter’s bathroom never the vanity not by tub area. But who does that or why 😤😫😩would u put carpet. Thanks for tips 😬
