estrellita - I just asked H how he did our floors, and he said he didn’t follow a pattern. He just looked at what he’d already installed and did whatever amount of staggering looked good as he added each new row.
Ten hours into our drive home, four more to go (at least to my parents house, where I'll hang out with A to give us a break from the car before tackling the 45 minutes to our house.)
My cousin was a bitch (we went to her wedding), my grandparents are probably thrilled the three kids under two are now out of their house again, and I got to see relatives I hadn't seen in person in a few years.
