Glad to be one of the early subscribers to your channel FloorsbySouthboys & followers on FB . I can't find words to to thank your for your diligence, care and thorough explanations . Please keep on the great work and more videos so that you spread the right teachings of professionalism . :) Thank you again Wish you all the best for you and your family sir Have a lovely day
Thanks . You taught me something with how you start your seam by pulling the tape ahead of the tack strip . I like that . I’ve always did mine a little different but much rather do it that way . Thanks for sharing
boy do i feel stupid, i was asking my nephew tonight at church if he would check out a few of my videos on his laptop when he gets home , and for him to let me know if he could see any ads because i still couldn't see them on my desktop, and his reply was do you have adblock , i said yes ,i busted out feeling real stupid
FloorsbySouthernboys oh my, I didn't even think of that. That's probably why it worked in incognito. It's always the smallest detail that makes the biggest difference.
I wonder do you seal your seams we do every carpet because if there is any kind of problem the rep from the mill comes and they use a black light and the latex seam sealer shows up because it keeps the yarn from the carpet together I was just wondering if you do and if you don't why don't you I love your work you're very talented but I just wanted your opinion keep up the good work I look forward to every video you do I've been installing for over 30 years I work for Lowe's Contracting flooring every type of floor
99% of the time i dont seam seal stretch in , only if the backing feels brittle like it might break or crumble at the touch, however i do seam seal 100% of glue down jobs
The frieze with the dark and light twists used to be the easiest thing to straight edge and seam now you often get dark ones next to dark ones on both pieces. I have not been able to get one side only light ones. I have been using those big nitting needles for awhile, they work great.
Im having this struggle. Working for a place that sells speckled everything. Running rows is tough for me with bad vision. Is there another method? Maybe serpentine straight edge?
@@FloorsbySouthernboys thanks for the help much appreciated. Could possibly list the pros n Conn's? It seems to me this would eliminate the fighting crooked rows together which is the main reason I stopped row cutting. It's always felt like a bad technique.
Joaquin Martinez I use the same kind of razor blades in my Row cutter as I do in my carpet knife and I use the round edge orcon Knife blades, although some people choose to use the square blades, I guess it’s just a personal preference
Speaking of a sore thumb ouch . I have good luck cutting my seams at an angle . Starting 5 or 6 inches one end down to an inch then using a row cutter and my straight edge as a guide. No over lap or gaps and the dots don’t line up.
Terence Harley I will agree some of that for say is nearly impossible to run a row in , I’m not sure if you seen my latest video on the new role finders that I have I’m sure that that big fat one is going to work on that I am kind of excited to actually lay some Frize carpets I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it but I think you know what I’m talking about,
@@fatmanstudios5335 no hate here. I talk with the boys often. Hard to see the slide surface sometimes in videos. Most of the pad i deal with has a plasticized surface. I don’t see much of the cheaper pad anymore
Ruben, I admire your attention-to-detail! I hope your clients notice & appreciate that quality in your installations …👊🏽
Wendi Yee Thank you so much

Terence Harley Wow thank you for sharing that I’ve very rarely work with frieze So that is nice to know thank you

Some people say, they have luck with a serpentine straight edge, but I cannot recommend it

You have the same problem with speackled Frazis carpet but it’s impossible to run a row in that carpet.
