I live in California. I usually don't go out on those 2 or 3 days we
have rain. Also, I am looking to test my abilities on laying the floor
so this is a test area, easily rip-out-able and re-do-able. Also, my
designer disallowed any segmenting of the floor other than to change
direction of the HW, no tile for kitchen, no carpet for hallway.
Finally, I want to do the transition from carpet ot HW under a door in
the hall closet, again, as a test of how to get it done before I do it
at a more obvious door into a bedroom, where I am allowed to keep
carpet.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I thought you were insane.
