What are the pop rivet looking things in the floor? How are they removed to replace the carpet?

 

[todhunter]

They look like rivets. If so, you'll have to drill them out. Or just pull up the carpet around them.

Often they are just a large head rivet, so the carpet doesn't pull up around the rivet. Start with a small drill like 1/8" and drill thru the rivet. Keep enlarging your drill until you find the right size that cuts the body dia. If there is a spot you can see the underside of the rivet, then use a drill bit just large enough to cut the body diameter then that head will pop off. Typical rivet diameters are 5/32, 3/16", and 1/4" dia body...

You are in for a real treat when you get the carpet out and start unscrewing the floor, many many very tight screws.
