And CQ should know this since he did have a boat and garage burn up on him!

In case anyone didn't catch on, my agreeing to his use of a torch was made "tongue in cheek". I know his recommendation was the same.

Our boat lives in the driveway under a cover, so our garage should be safe from fire.

I could see using the torch to heat a metal scraper to help soften the glue as I tried to pull up the carpet. A hot scraper on the edge where the carpet is still attached as it's being lifted would probably work really well.

Good to know I have a bunch of options before I start.

Gasoline soaked carpet, vice grips and a torch. What could go wrong?

Carpet that had gasoline spilled on it over 9 months ago. Pretty sure it has long since volatilized out.

I'm still shooting for using no fire or heat and hoping it will simply pull up with little to no fight.

If I do somehow manage to blow myself up or catch on fire, I'll be sure to post pics for everyone's amusement.

New gas, to soften up the glue. 87 octane is sufficient.

If I'm going to use gas, I was going to go big and use some 105 Octane race fuel. Figure it's high performance would remove the glue that much faster.

Any recommendations for carpet cleaners that are good and not ridiculously expensive?

Dawn dish soap and water works great for cleaning the carpets.

I bought a little Bissell Upolstery cleaner that worked really well to clean the carpet.

Although I'm sure the same thing could be achieved with a shop vac.

Soak carpet with hose. Then pour soapy water (I use dish detergent) over a section of carpet and scrub. Let it sit for a few minutes then soak again with the house and suck up with a shop vac. I work my way from the bow to stern.

My carpet is 16 years old and it comes up pretty well every year.

Just my thoughts.
