For Nail Down Hardwood Being Installed, Can It Go Over Glue Left From The Previous Carpet Installation.?

I wouldn’t. The surface needs to be fairly flat for the new flooring to nail down properly. If you don’t secure it properly and use some form of building paper under it it will squeak like Hell everytime you walk on it.By the way you should leave the installation to a professional. Getting used to hardwood nailers is a real learning curve and you could end up with a nasty looking floor when you’re done. If you want to do the installation yourself then you are better off using a product like Pergo flooring.

Can I Carpet Over Asbestos Floor Tile?

I was planning to have Home Depot install new carpet throughout our house (we have a baby on the way). I just had a piece of floor tile tested for asbestos. It is 25% asbestos, unfortunately. House was built in 1967, but my husband and I were young and just getting married when we bought the house (8 years ago), and though we had it inspected, apparently asbestos was not part of the inspection. The previous homeowners did not mention any possibility of asbestos (the house was “for sale by owner” too). They seemed like good people, but shouldn’t they have said something about the tile? It seems suspicious that they had carpeted over this tile in two bedrooms, and the third bedroom has no carpeting at all, just those lovely tiles! And some closets have the tile too. Home Depot wants us to remove some tiles to tack down the new carpeting. Can’t they just carpet over it like the other rooms were done? I know we can’t afford to have the tile professionally removed.

Where Can I Get Hospital-type Booties That Go Over Shoes?

They are usually hospital green with elastic around the top. One size fits all. Slip them on over your shoes.
Homeowners give them to lookiloos visiting their house for sale so clean/new carpet will stay nice.
