How plausible is it for me to lay a carpet?
Poorfag here that can afford a carpet, but not fitting.

I did it. It looks like shit and it was hard as fuck to do. I payed 300 for new carpet and padding in 2 15x15 rooms plus the stretching tool, blades and knives. The untrained eye cannot tell I did it, but I see it every day. When I redo it when the carpet is worn, I will pay someone. Also, the cheapest carpet is absolute SHIT at home depot. 7 months and it's already flat and worn in the walkways.
Rent a carpet stretcher.
Look up how to use it.
Did a small room years ago, it wasn't too bad.

>Worn carpets
Take of your shoes silly American
Wait for Home Depot to run a free install sale.
Carpet isn't hard, but it sucks balls, requires you to rent tools to do it properly.

THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BEAR SHOES SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
Carpet tiles are wicked easy to lay the glues the hardest bit or getting old ones off

I must argue that the God-given right to bare feet takes priority here
Don't use carpet. It's so unhealthy it's not funny.
Carpet is basically a giant napkin on your floor you can't wash or change.
I hate trying to keep carpet clean.
And you get to breathe in all those disgusting particles that float up into the air from the bacterial soup that is your carpet

If you can't afford installing carpet, get a rub.

Floorlayer here.
It's somewhat basic, but anyone with healthy knees can fake their way through it so long as they don't try to put seams in it (join 2 pieces for a large room). If you have to do that I suggest practising on whatever scraps you cut off your roll to fit the rooms first. The only trick some people can't get the hang of is understanding you're stretching it in, so you have to plan out your install before you start so you don't stretch past a corner or doorway and move your pre-cut area away from where it should be. Take your time and remember you can't put it back together once you've cut it without ugliness (unless your damn good with the seaming iron)

Carpet cleaners exist mate.
Most carpet installs run between 0 and 25 dollars, m80
