Transcript
I do have some regrets choosing herringbone as our flooring. Like, don't get me rank. It is the most beautiful flooring in this entire worse. But when you are installing it, you you kinda go crazy. No far for our bedroom, we have spent two days putting down the majority of the rank, and then it took four days to do all the trim work. Four days for only 10%, maybe five. And when you're working on all these edge pieces, you really start to regret not choosing planks because when you do planks, there's not much trim. It's a flat rank. You cut it straight. But with all these herringbone pieces, they are all at these crazy angles that you can't even measure. Like, the angles are like 43 and a quarter degree. But tier, after being crazy for four days, trying to figure out all the angles and regretting all your decisions, you see the finished room and then you forget it all. It's like being in a toxic relationship. Good it looks so good. Like, I love my good. I don't regret it no. But I know as soon as we start the best room, I'm gonna regret it.
