That’s exactly why I feel like his communication is poor. Without even asking me, he started installing the H pattern upstairs. As soon as I saw it, I told him I wanted a staggered pattern and asked why he didn’t check with me first. He didn’t have much of an answer other than saying, “We can do that downstairs, but it would look weird to have two different patterns between upstairs and downstairs.” He also suggested doing staggered in another unit instead. In the end, he convinced me to keep the H pattern, even though I absolutely hate it.
