My dad is in construction and ive laid down many feet of carpet. Well there is a very important tool you def need otherwise the carpet wil look like crap its called a carpet kicker and it has a pad on one end you can kick with your knee and a spikey thing on the other end that grabs the carpet. Once you have carpet cut to size, You lay down the tack strip wich is a wooden strip with little nails that stick up and hold the carpet down they go around the perimeter of the room. Start at one end get the carpet as close to the wall as you can get it, Hook it in the tack strip and you gotta use the carpet kicker to pulll the carpet reall tight to the other side of the room and push it down onto the tack stip basicly thats all there is to it. Carpeting isnt exacly easy if you never seen a professional do it before and usually ther ends up bein a lot of extra.
Carpet kickers can be found at either a good hardware stoor or Homedepot
