Or cover the floor in a layer of Evo stick,then pop down the local hair dressers and ask for some hair,sprinkle liberally over the glue,job done,if the hair is a different colour to the original carpet,grab some hair dye !!
Don`t sniff too much Evo though

What you should have done is left the carpet in situ.  Then you should have drilled holes all along one of the outside walls of the room, threaded rope through it and used your van to power stretch the carpet back onto the grippers.

NO. Find a local builder.
Fit carpet to two of the walls, then get the builder to bring the walls in on the other 2 sides. Simples

This is soooooo entertaining, I've turned off the telly

Easy this, just buy two lengths of another carpet one for the length, one for the width, each as long as the room walls and as wide as the shrinkage, sew em up, jobs a good un!

Hardly helpfull considering the situation we are in.
Luckly we found some yoghurt in her fridge, which we shared with a wooden spoon (teaspoons were in dishwasher).
Carpets still ruined though and shes not happy.

If you had used vanish instead of all those new fangled chemicals this would never have happened.

We cleaned a 100% wool carpet today and used too much hot water. The whole carpet shrunk about 1ft all around the room.
The customer was not at home so we lifted the carpet out into the garden and tried to stretch it back using a garden rake which we broke.
The carpet was all rippled and badly distorted when we fitted it back.

Any advise.

WTF

Roll yourself up in the carpet and hide...

Lucky you had 'treatment risks' insurance

It sounds like a funny anecdote, but poor you...It's a pity you broke the garden rake.
