I have no pics doing it but I have done it.

It is quite a nasty place to weld, ideally, you need to have someone underneath checking you dont set the carpet alight. As far as I can remember, it is single skinned, but depends on how bad the hole is as to where you need to cut the metal back from.

Under mine were some wires dangling down as well, so its mainly wires and carpet you need to keep an eye out for..
