I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t far more difficult than just doing it the old fashioned way.

Scratch that, I am absolutely sure that cutting through a roll of musty old carpet with a reciprocating saw is much harder than just getting a couple of fresh blades in the utility knife. But it’s of those “I have started so I will finish” things. The 5m wide roll is now two 2.5m rolls which should make moving it to tip on Wednesday easier.

As long as it doesn’t rain between now and then, because you would be amazed how heavy a wet carpet is.
