Moving faster now. About 1/3 done. But discovered that I'm short on 5" planks. The sales rep at the store said to install in a 5"-4"-3" repeating pattern. This would require equi-linear quantities of each width.
Email to the company that produced the flooring - uh-uh. Random widths. Look at tally sheet that should have accompanied the shipment to figure out a 'random' pattern that will work with the room and quantities provided.
Ok. The flooring retailer (Boardwalk Hardwood Flooring) didn't give us a tally sheet when they delivered the wood, reinforcing the idea that a repeating pattern would work.
I've got the tally sheet now (Monday morning). Sure enough. About 80 linear feet short on 5" planks (I was guessing between 80 and 100). Fortunately, there should be enough of both 3's and 4's to make it across the room without an extended, mono-width stretch. I was in a really bad mood this morning until I got the numbers. Of course, that all depends on having received everything that was shipped. Will be doing a lot of measuring tonight.
