I hope your hand starts to heal soon.
Laid the two classrooms. I had a whole roll cut before I realized it's a 38" pattern match. Seams up real nicely double cutting through once you align the pattern overlapping abut 2 1/2 inches or so. The hardest part is moving the material over the existing glue to get the pattern on. You need a guy shaking the backing off the glue and another guy shifting it around which makes it real awkward to eyeball the pattern. We'll get a lot faster as the job progresses. Classrooms are roughly 90 s/y per.
There was no seam diagram
I called the salesman to see how he figured it. There's supposedly 13% waste and his computer estimating program was directed to figure each rooms to be laid lengthwise.
There's another building our shop already did. They told me just go look see how those guys did it. They ran the material shortways. I had already cut up that one roll going the long ways and actually think it's very stupid to run it the shortways. We're doing this building the longways.

Didn't take E.
I have heard people say that an installation looked like it was done by a blind man, well my stepson is blind. When I went over to the birthday party, he was telling me about the poor carpet installation that was done upstairs where he just moved. He said it was cut short in some places and not tucked in good in others. (he worked for me for a number of years). He could tell and he was right, that it was a bad installation and he is totally blind. I know the installer, he can do better work, I guess he just doesn't care. There seems to be a lot of that going around.
Works on my droid even.
Link worked for me.

Working Now.
Laid a job about 3 weeks ago spending 4 days there as the job was 50 odd k's out of Auckland, I looked and looked to see if there was anything wrong as I didn't want to go back
Lady rang up the other day as said there was a lump under the vinyl
How did I miss this?
Two minute fix with an hour and a quarter travel each way
Why doesn't this type of thing happen close to home?
At least she made me a nice bacon and egg sandwich

I spent the weekend installing a radio in my -93 S10. The old one was made by "Road Gear"........ a "Recoton Company" You just don't see quality like this anymore.
Typical butcher job was done installing it. The hack cut off the factory plug from the original GM radio.
I got my 'new to me" radio at a Goodwill thrift store for $7.19. The factory wire plug connector of course was missing, so I got one at the wrecking yard for $5
After 2 long days, I got me a nice little 1998 Honda Civic radio in my S10 pickup. ...only problem is that all the stations play Japanese music.
