Around these here parts, that happens in about 3 jobs per 1000. (knowbody cares to bring up the subject)
Installers usually put the seams where they want them.
That said, a caring installer will make the best decision.
Seams are invisible anyway, why bring it up and lose a sale.
If I remember right, in the new installation "standards", it tells you to discuss seam placement when you measure.
Standards?
Standards?
............we don't need no stinkin' standards.
When I'm working on a job where the best seam placement is obvious, I don't bring it up. If there is more than one option, I'll discuss the room use, lighting and furniture placement so the customer can add input.

Jon, that is cool about the horse. Sad that it died after a "mysterious illness". And the Aussies kept its heart? WTF? LOL.
Carpet seams can be a pain. I've got one right before an entryway. Installer didn't discuss the seam location with us, but it wasn't a big deal. It's a shame that room had to be carpeted. We had really nice wood floors but the tenants put a bucket of hot ash on the floor and burned a hole in it (at least that was how they said it happened).
I'm still trying to figure out how to get the maple syrup out of the carpet. I went to get my steamcleaner back from my friend, but apparently his father borrowed it and its over at his grandparent's house.

I'm like you, after 40 years, I know where the seam should be. So unless, there is no good place to put it, I don't ask.

I installed a Brita filter on my bathroom faucet and made my elderly water-obsessed cat happy. After some problems with the water pump, there was a ton of sediment in the tapwater. It was very murky and the cat kept giving me stinkeye when I filled her bowl. She put her nose in it and then pulled back and gave me a "WTF is THIS?" look. Then she promptly pushed the bowl into the sink to dump it.
Took five grandkids (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, ) to see "Home" at the movies today. Worn out.
I've been waiting to hear how the excursion went. Care to elaborate for us?
They were all good. Only had 5, one decided not to go. Watched the movie, ate too much popcorn and played games in the game room. Lots of fun. Will do it again.
You're a good man, Rusty. Kids never forget having a good time with their gramps. It'll teach them to do the same some day.
I made a nozzle for my hot glue gun so it can reach in narrow spaces. The short fat 1" nozzle that came with my new Orcon gun is a waste of good metal. Why do they make something so useless? The McGuyver in me modified it into a 2" inch nozzle with a hole just over 1/16" in diameter. It puts out a nice 1/8 to 1/4 inch bead of glue right where you want it............ I mean, where I want it.
I also slapped together a small glue gun holder/tool shelf thingy that will hang off the stairs that I am finally going to end cap. With the shelf hanging one stair up from the one I'm working on, it will be quick to set the glue gun on it. The gun can't tip over because it drops into a holder of sorts. The stairs are all stretched in, and just the ends to finish.
The customer left town, but should be back tomorrow so I can go back up and finish the stairs. If they don't end up looking like crap, I might even take a picture.

Writing a 6 minute speech about the fact that humans are not responsible for climate change. Amazing that Al Gore got caught in so many lies. He might be right but when you purposely lie a lot, you can't be considered credible. I hate speech class.

Silly looking contraption actually works pretty good. Maybe I'll make a new version that has multiple outlets, a radio and a cup holder.
Someone ought to fire the person that wrote this and the people that allowed it to be printed:
If fossil-fuel burning continues at a business-as-usual rate, such that humanity exhausts the reserves over the next few centuries, CO2 will continue to rise to levels of order of 1500 ppm. The atmosphere would then not return to pre-industrial levels even tens of thousands of years into the future. This graph not only conveys the scientific measurements, but it also underscores the fact that humans have a great capacity to change the climate and planet.

I think NASA is owned by the IPCC
Then the human caused sea level rise.
Notice the sea level has been rising at the same rate for the past 150 years? Where's McMahon's hockey stick sea level rise graph?

I even have stuff from NASA and the EPA that proves global warming is a natural cycle.
It took the IPCC a long time to come up with a reason the earth hasn't been warming for 15 or 20 years, with the CO2 levels increasing all the while......
They seem to like wow factor of the CO2 levels.
I find internet discussions fun to read because there is so much controversy over CO2's true value in determining whether the earth is truly warming, or simply going through normal cycles, with the past couple hundred years being a little bit off the expected mark.
With so many people questioning the severity of the issue, or whether there really is one, how come the IPCC said 20 years ago, that the results are in, (meaning man caused warming is unquestionable) and that sea levels are going to rise 3 feet in the next 100 years.
Here we are 20 years later and there is still tremendous controversy on the issue. There are way to many questions pro and con to the issue. If the earth is warming slightly, is it really a bad thing? ...or possibly a really good thing? If it is warming, can we really do anything about it? Probably not.

Most of the predictions have been wrong. Al Gore said the polar ice caps would be gone by 2013. He said the polar bears would die out and their population is the biggest it's been for 25 years. etc.
The earth has been going back and forth for millions of years. It is going to keep doing the same thing no matter what man has tried to do. I HAVE SPOKEN!!
