So my plan is to do this.
Staple it from right under and then move on to the next one. All the way up the stairs.
So as you can see, I'm looking down the stairs here. I started at the top.
And I am continuing down. And this method, you'll see, that I'm installing some carpet...
...on the stairs. Peel and stick.
Works very well. You'll need a hammer for this. Basically, rub it down.
Same thing here. Pick this up. Push up a little bit...
This will pull it tight underneath.
Once you have it flat, grab your stapler.
Staples underneath.
Hold it in place.
And then we'll do the bottom.
Using the claw to get it into the corner.
Take this and go up and down. One more time. Make sure we're there.
And then cut on a 45-degree angle. Rip it off.
Next one.
Then we just continue this until we get to the bottom.
You always want to make sure we're shoved in there.
Push it down a little bit with your hands. Make sure it's flat.
Take your hammer and put more weight on it.
Move the tools out of the way.
Also, you want the nap so that the nap is running in this direction because it makes it easy to bring the carpet around.
If you put it in the opposite direction, it gets a little tough. It doesn't want to work with you.
Sometimes you gotta pull it off and do it again.
Okay. Now the stapler.
Same thing down here.
You saw there, a nice sharp blade makes a big difference.
This goes pretty quick.
So this indicates the nap going in that direction. Basically to tell you so you can see it with your eyes.
It doesn't take much to figure it out.
Easy-peezy.
A lot of people think stairs are hard. If you do them the right way they become very easy.
It's how you approach the project.
And I don't lay carpet. And I laid all this myself. I'm not a big floor layer.
This is not what I do all the time. So it goes to show you, anyone can do it.
It's all about method: how you approach your project.
Doesn't seem tight enough.
There we go. You always want to try and make that as tight as possible.
Now we're down to the last one.
It's important that you have staples in there cause those staples will prevent this from unraveling.
You can tell when there's no staples in the staple gun. Also, there's this sight here I just realized.
This is a new tool for me. I haven't used this before. So I'm learning.
You'd think it would have a stop on it when it runs out of staples. Not the case.
Okay, let's cut. Better watch you don't cut the carpet down below too.
There we go. Beautiful.
There it is.
I'll show you guys now. Just gonna take a walk.
As you can see, I did the stairs.
All the way up.
And the platform. All cut in. Beautiful.
It's all done here. Did it all the way down to the end of the garage.
Thanks for watching.
