[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3655137, member: 9220"] A suggestion: Dry fit your planks (strips) before you start, I believe most installations read to start in the center of the room, but if you dry fit you can see how your clearance to the walls; instead of having 3” tile next to the walls., by changing your center line you might be able to have full tiles against your walls. It also gives you an opportunity to see how straight your walls are. It also gives you the opportunity to check your patterns as you transition to different rooms. Your transitions can make or break the look of your flooring job. doorways (closets and rooms), fireplace facade, and carpet. Your attention to those details, prior to the start of the job. can save you some heartache further down the line. Look how others have transitioned, some complex corners, where room doors (bathroom, bedrooms and closets join) meet, where a little frustrating for me. Take your time and be patient with yourself, you will probably be your harshest critic, There is no reason this can’t be fun and a learning experience !!!!!! Or you can do what I did and wing it as you go !!!!!! Good Luck on your Quest !!!!! [/QUOTE]
