This house was bought from a previous owner. And it seems like they placed carpet over a parquet flooring underneath. Never really cared much but now the carpet starts to have holes on them I want to remove it. Since I have a built-in clothe cabinet, I'm thinking of cutting the carpet around the cabinet and start pulling the carpet. Would this be the alright?

Another things is preparing the parquet flooring. Quite a few years ago my family did on the master bedroom but it was quite sometime ago and I barely remember how we did it but I do know the parquet is not exactly in a good looking condition. The parquet itself is quite fine but it needs some serious refinishing. Some of them are even loose. What type of glue should I get to glue them back?

Advice is seriously needed especially in terms of things to buy and prepare before I start hacking away. Can't have missing a thing after I moved all the furniture out.

By the way, since it's a bedroom, would it livable right after refinishing parquet (lacquer?)?

I also have the polish machine I think from the previous project on the master bedroom.
