My brother-in-law thinks he can install carpet better than me after watching a video.

Honestly, the idea that someone can install carpet better just from a video is where I have to step in. Videos show you the basics, but they MISS all the little things that go wrong in real life. Carpet installation has so many nuances like stretching it PROPERLY and dealing with awkward corners. Without hours of practice, you end up with bumps and wrinkles that ruin the whole job. It's one thing to know the steps, but executing them FLAWLESSLY is a whole different ball game. Confidence from a video often leads to mistakes that cost time and money to fix.

Know a guy who tried to save money on carpet after binging tutorials? He ended up with so many lumps it looked like a bad haircut and had to hire someone anyway.

Remember my buddy who tried to tile his own bathroom? He ended up with more grout on himself than the floor and had to call a pro anyway lol.
