carpet/wood flooring

[Jack & Donna Smith]

Yeah, might try it "Do It Yourself"... Worst that can happen is a job
that may have to be redone. BUT, all the prelim work will be done..
I dont suppose that it is exactly Rocket Science to pull up the old
carpet, and remove some 10 million staples...
BTW, I once helped build a laminated hull sailboat that was glued, and
staples held it togather till the glue dried.. A (church key) Beer
Can Opener, sharpened, was great to pull those staples..
