How do you remove carpeting?

Answer

Carpet is almost always held down around the edges with nailed down tac strips. You just grab an edge somewhere and tear it up off the floor. You'll then have to remove the tac strips. Try pulling up a corner maybe and looking underneath. You'll see. note: it's possible it was glued down but you remove it the same way. The glue leaves a mess though and you gotta scrape it off. Hope not.
