I was thinking of laying an area rug over top of the living area carpeting large enough to cover all that old carpeting. I'd have to anchor it somehow because I have experienced the "creeping area rug" phenomenon before. And cut a hole out for the floor register. We never move so I'm not worried about having to pull the slides in.
Okay, there is this 10 inch strip of carpet, half Beauflor (sp?) in front of the peninsula. I would like to remove the strip of carpet, right back to the slide carpet. I wouldn't touch the slide carpet. I'm hoping there's Beauflor under that carpeting, don't know why there wouldn't be. But then it's likely glued/nailed down and can't be removed without damaging the flooring underneath? Well, it's definitely glued it seems, when I try to lift it up. What have others found when they tear up that part of the carpet? Any chance the glue can be removed and without damaging the flooring? Thanks!
Update: Got adventurous, pried up a bit of carpeting, looks like no glue Yippee!! but staples which when pulled out of course leave little holes in the flooring. Can the holes be filled or disguised satisfactorily? Or better to leave the holes alone?
