typically the pieces come in a small medium large size that you need to be sure you stagger randomly…which makes for MORE annoying cuts but some bit cuts you can use to start you next row…always starting with a fresh piece will give you a horrble TEETH like look…idk what to call it but def make it random or youll start to see a bad pattern. ---

Little update… we purchased the flooring finally. Only reason it took this long, because the wife wanted to get the baby furniture first, then decide on a color/flooring.

Will update with pictures of before and after… ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > ^Awesome. > > @Oneslowdsm do you do any refinishing or repair? depends on what kind of repair work is needed, pm me some pictures if possible. As for refinishing I can do it… but hate it lol. I work at MP Caroll hardwood and our sanding crew is amazing, I would call them and set something up honestly. ---
