Removing carpet? Save your knees!

If you're like me, you're often forgetting all the things you need to bring to a job site. The one thing I always overlook is knee protection. I might look like a young man, but my cracking bones tell me otherwise.

So what is a forgetful handyman to do? Improvise!

I make these knee savers out of the carpet underpadding every time I'm removing carpet and putting in wood flooring - something I do pretty often.

Just roll up the old underpadding and tie is up with some string.

I hope this tip saves some sore knees!
