20 years of carpet laying and I just figured out my seams were backwards
I was helping a guy in Mobile redo his basement last fall and he pointed out my seam was running the wrong way for the light coming in. I'd been doing that since I started in 2004, nobody ever told me different. Anyone else have a basic thing they missed for way too long?

Running the seam perpendicular to the light source is one of those things nobody tells you until you mess it up in front of someone. Don't beat yourself up, it's a real common mistake in the trade.

Wait, so I've been putting carpet down backwards for like 15 years and never knew? Man, that explains why my mom's hallway always looked kinda weird when the sun hit it. Guess I owe my old boss a call to thank him for teaching me absolutely nothing useful.
