Spent 4 hours on a stair nose yesterday only to find out the tack strip was the whole problem | Carpet Installers - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
My dad used to spend whole Saturdays fixing the wrong thing on his truck, like swapping a fuel pump when it was just a loose ground wire. That kind of stuff happens everywhere, where the real fix is small and cheap but you skip right past it because the big job is staring you in the face. Glad your wrap laid down easy once the strip got sorted.
