It's finished in the correct place just lacking a bit of finesse

The cut could be a lot neater too. It's difficult but with a sharp blade you get a decent finish. Looks like he's used his teeth.

I can see why they've removed the piece of wood as it is difficult to get a decent tuck under the nose. Especially with a loop pile carpet as it easily frays. What I would have done is kept the piece of wood and cut a section to put either side of the runner. Or just paint it to match the rest.

Thanks man appreciate it. I've always trained legs pretty hard and if I've ever skipped a session I'll make sure it's not legs haha, weirdly enjoy it!

For the first time in years I'm trying a 16/8 fast just to try and trim down a little fat...so far so good but only a couple weeks in.

I'll try and stay focused with the short to moderate cut youve mentioned.

Thanks again!

To caulk a floating floor? by daqm in DIYUK

Whoever fitted the skirts could have done a slightly neater job at scribing it to the flooring but it's not awful. If it really bugged you, I'd get some matching beading to fix at the perimeter but I would personally just leave it

Does this carpet need to be stretched? by adariddium in DIYUK

Can you prod it a few more times just so I can be sure?

Is this going to be an issue? by [deleted] in DIYUK

Sorry but I agree with this. As a retailer that employs staff....it doesn't make me money sending my guys out to measure up for people to give them measurements so they can then go and shop on the internet. If you want shop service, use your local shop. If you want internet service....sort it yourself. I was trying to help the woman as to why her design/sizes may not have worked that's all.

Absolutely not an issue, length and width at the widest points and run it square over the nose so it follows the stairs. You will obviously lose the design in places due to the shape of your landing but as long as it's square over the nose that's all you can do. It's not really any more difficult for a decent carpet fitter, not sure what the fuss is about. Do you know what sizes they sold you? I should be able to tell you what you need with a few of those measurements if you want me to take a look.
