[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 846847, member: 20280"] Okay, carpet's up, let the mess begin! The cracks aren't as bad as I remember from when I replaced carpet last time, think that'll be fine. I was able to pull the tack bds with great success, developed a technique somehow that didn't bust the concrete. Tools of choice were a hatchet & claw hammer. Next obstacle, the adhesive! I can deal with the light swirls of glue used to hold the padding in place, but in the entryway has a black adhesive that was used to glue tile. The tile has been gone for years but the black crap has worked its way into the pours of the concrete. I haven't had any luck with anything getting that stuff gone. I checked at the rental place today and they have a "low speed" floor polishing machine and plenty of black pads to clean with. They also have a metal disk of some sort but not real sure what results I can expect from that. They also have 40 grit paper for the "buffer". If that isn't the best choice, they have a sanding machine that they promise will take a layer or two off the top. I have to keep my cost down so I may be forced to experiment without causing too much damage (I hope). [/QUOTE]
