What happens here

This short instructional video provides a crucial tip for DIYers installing carpet padding on stairs: the correct orientation of the carpet pad. It emphasizes that the 'waffle' or textured side of the carpet pad should always face upwards, towards where the carpet will be laid. This specific orientation helps the carpet stretch and hold properly over the pad, ensuring a better and more durable installation. The video warns against installing the pad with the waffle side down, humorously stating that doing so makes you 'a clown,' implying an amateur or incorrect installation.
