The Tuesday I stretched 140 yards of berber solo and my knee gave out on the last room
So this happened about 3 weeks ago on a job in a split level out in Beaverton. My regular guy called in sick and I decided to just push through the whole house by myself instead of rescheduling, which was dumb. The berber was a 140 yard stretch, all those tight bedrooms and a hallway with 3 doorways, so I was on my knees for close to 9 hours straight. Around 4pm my right knee just locked up on me and I had to sit on the floor for a bit while the homeowner pretended not to notice. I finished the last bedroom with a knee pad on one leg and a folded towel on the other. What got me was the power stretcher kept slipping on the padding in that one corner by the closet. Now I am looking at one of those knee kicker strap setups or just hiring help on anything over 80 yards. What do you guys do when you are stuck working solo on a big stretch day?

Hire the help, saving a few bucks aint worth wrecking your knee for weeks.
