I agree with the other guy there is no way possible!! And where you get the facts of what carpet installers make I made $380,000 one year installing carpet. First of all we don't get paid by the hour we get paid by the square foot or square yard so the skies the limit. I put it flooring in for lawyers that make four or $500 an hour that tell me they don't make the kind of money I make. I don't know where you get your information but I'm surely glad that you get it and it says stupid things like that
