I'm trying to figure out why you didn't put the finish side down. The work room my stepson worked at put laminate on their proknees. He said it slid better and nonmarring.
You mean put the finish side down for cutting?
Lost another tree. Now I have two to cut up
you've been having storms?
Our county wouldn't allow collecting petitions so we'd be able to put it on the ballot.
I would rather live in a state that's known for potato's than meth.
Just a lot of wind. We had a steady 30 mph wind the last two days with gusts to 60.
We had close to that a couple times in the past week or so.
We now have a lot of clean for trees. The wind blew all the dead needles into the streets.

I'm talking the finish side down on the piece you had attached to your jigsaw. At least in the picture to me it was the unfinished side.
I can't see my lines if I flip it upside-down. 
I've never cut from the bottom. If I flipped stuff shiney side down, I'd be scratching it on something somehow.

Nice jig, Highup.
I'm waiting on my brother to be ready to go to the store with me. We need more bottled water & cat food. One of our kitties is missing but I'm hoping she'll turn up. Still feeling very tired. I'll need to see if Samsclub has allergy meds since I'm out.
Started looking up castle joints bc Flyover on the houserepairtalk forum mentioned them.

Everytime someone mentions cats, I think of Chinese food.
They wanted me to cook tonight. Scrambled eggs w/cheese and jalapenos, sausage links, hash browns and crescent rolls.
I think of the carpet pad and baseboards I took to the dump.
Gonna be a few hours late.
I was done by 6 pm
Oh and you mentioned cats.....
The job I just mentioned is where I tore out the carpet, pad and base.
I'm installing the pre-finished hardwood. I got my starting rows in yesterday, and only got another 4 rows installed today. I stopped installing because the floor snapped and popped here and there when walking on it. It's just next to the walls. I weigh 210, owner might weigh 100, so no issues that I can see.
Anyway, I stopped and waited for advice from a wood floor guy.... the one that loaned me his stapler.
He finally called back and told me with engineered wood, he glues the T&G so they can't move or flex against each other.
While waiting for that phone call, I got a call from David Hunt. I left him a message asking about a hand made carpet runner a potential customer wants to buy for me to install on stairs.
He said........... well, let's just say I'm hoping we can convince the customer to make a different choice. We don't want a customer to buy $$$$ "crap". David initiated my very first flooring forum comment many many years ago.
He was arguing with someone, and me being new to the forum, well, I jumped in feet first and said he (and the other guy), were acting like 5 year olds, and I added "how is anyone going to get their question answered with you guys arguing?"
Someone immediately sent me a PM, and saying "do you know who that guy is?"
I said no, and I don't care. The guy asking a question wasn't getting his question answered.
Back on the topic, David agreed and apologized as I recall.
That is how I met the world's best woven carpet guru. He saved me again. He's doing well and his passion for his occupation is as strong as ever. He's a really neat guy to know.

Hi I don't think we are on the same page. I think I read faster than you or something like that. lolI can't see my lines if I flip it upside-down.

Well that didn't work as planned. I only wanted to quote the last paragragh. Anyway I've know David for quite a few years. Excellent individual to know if you do wovens and has bailed me out a few times.Oh and you mentioned cats.....
