Crossed 5000 yards of carpet stretched this morning
I mean, I was just cleaning my knee kicker and the number hit me. That's a lot of tack strips and sore knuckles over the past decade. Anyone else have a random count that made you stop and think?

Man that's a wild number. Five thousand yards is like three miles of carpet. I've probably done a fraction of that in my own house and my knees already hate me. Props for sticking with it that long.

Keeping a spray bottle of water and a scrap piece of carpet to test the knee kicker before each stretch saved a ton of frustration. A good quality knee pad with gel inserts made the difference for those long days of crawling around. A sharp utility knife blade changed every few rolls really cut down on the hand fatigue too.

Had a buddy who used an old phone book to test his kicker. Swears it saved his back from all that bending and adjusting.
