If you are trying to match and existing floor - don't expect a perfect match. Run/lot #'s have variations.<br />This applies to many things -including wallpaper. In other words - always buy enough to complete your job and if you expect any future damage/changes - buy enough to cover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865137195444403241.post-22196244457567046332010-12-02T20:41:30.871-06:002010-12-02T20:41:30.871-06:00I agree with you.

Then we might have been able to see the carpenter ant infestation and the badly, badly spalding brick at the back.

I actually prefer an unstaged house, then I can see the whole room, and know that there are no nasty surprises on the hidden floor area or walls, plus I can imagine what my own belongings will look like in there.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865137195444403241.post-62124269826907132312010-03-12T19:16:46.367-06:002010-03-12T19:16:46.367-06:00I just want to say thanks for the animated telling...I just want to say thanks for the animated telling of your experience.

We've been having trouble selling the house, and decided to rip out the 30-year-old carpet and lay down new stuff; as long as we were doing the rest of the house, we carpeted right over this.

Your finished project looks terrific, and at about $10 per square yard, what the heck! And since I can't afford $400+ for a vinyl tile cutter, I'll give your cutting method a try (scissors and utility knife). Thanks for the inspiration!
