Depends on what you are putting on top of it, if it's more carpet, just scrape it as good as you can with a floor scraper, and move on. If you plan on refinishing the concrete, or putting some sort of floating floor, or tile, I'd use some sort of chemical to strip up the remaining glue, then scrape with a floor scraper, (they sell them at the big box stores). I've installed a sh*t ton of floors.

what do you charge?

I scraped up glue off concrete years ago when my church was putting down new carpet. It is a lot of work.

[Redsnapper]

what do you charge?

Are you in the Charlotte area? If so, we can maybe work something out, not for just scraping glue up though, but last time I checked my schedule is packed with my own projects and house. PM me, and we can figure something out.

Well, you got it. Throw a floor stripper on there to break up the glue, scrape it up, then proceed. I have always been of the theory, that if some fat ass redneck named Larry can figure out flooring, plumbing, electricity, framing, etc... then GD, what's stopping me, I've got a college degree. If you can figure out computers and message boards, you can figure out home repairs. Make sure you read up on any project, and how to do it, before you start, make sure you've got all the correct tools, and I have all the faith in the world that you can get it done, probably better than Larry. Good luck.
