Last summer we drove 700 miles to my mother in law’s house with the intention of removing 40 year old brown and orange shag carpet from the basement. It covered the entire basement. We returned at Christmas to recover the floor with laminated vinyl. It looks far better.

You can’t imagine the decades of dust and decayed carpet/padding.

i hope ya’ll used 3M industrial respirators (and not the useless N95 masks) ... that kind of nasty dust is full of unimaginably bad crap, including generations of decaying dust mites ...
