Ok, I KNOW someone has done this before, so I thought I'd ask before I turn this project into a disaster.
I have my safe sitting on Berber, under which is a carpet pad, then a concrete slab.
I know from having dogs in the house that Berber comes apart like a sweater when you snag a single strand, and I can imagine how quickly it would once it got wrapped around a drill bit.
So, for you guys who have done this before, what slick technique did you use to cut the carpet before drilling?
I was thinking maybe burn it, using either a soldering iron or maybe one of those mini butane torches? Maybe a hole saw with really fine teeth?
