Pull it yourself. Cut it in strips. roll it up and tape with packaging tape. I did this and put it out for the trash collection. Someone actually took it! Why, I don't know- it was nasty from three kids and a dog from the previous owners.
Check around for prices. I knew a couple who spent the day on Dalton, pricing carpet. Got the best price here in Cleveland.</p>
"carpet for $1-$2 per square foot" You probably can see the subflooring through it?</p>
