Hi...I agree, the flooring looks great. The color goes well with the color of the kitchen cabinets too. Well done.

Thanks! We're happy with it.

I'm starting to build my own hanger home just SE of San Marcos, TX on a small runway with 14 lots. Re: the flooring, your system of laying the flooring (BTW, we have luxury tile in our current home and it's great) seems to have worked well but did you consider starting the first row at the center line and working outward? Since you'll be using baseboards, if there are any small variances the baseboard will cover them up.

The planks I but down were a lot easier to install the way we did it with their locking mechanism. Trying to latch the underside in when the top piece was already down was a challenge. But, all the LVP options out there have different locking mechanisms, so maybe this is possible with other brands.

On another topic, are you finding the black roof to be excessively hot in the Texas summer?

[@Out-Of-Alignment]

I actually haven't had a problem with it. It's got 2" of spray foam on the bottom, but there is a large mezzanine that separates the living area from the metal building roof. But, I think if I was going to do it over, I would go with just a white roof and keep the black trim. Some other hangars on the runway did that, and they look sharp.
