Vent: Client demanded no seams in a 20x30 room and I had to walk off the job in Phoenix

Lady wanted a single piece of carpet for her whole living room. No seams at all. Tried to explain that carpet comes in 12 foot rolls max and her room is 20 feet wide. She said 'just figure it out, that's your job.' I packed up my tools and left. Has anyone else had homeowners who just do not get basic math?

12 foot is the standard width but they actually make 15 foot rolls in some patterns. Doesn't help you here though since 15 is still five feet short. Some customers REALLY think we weave carpet by hand or something.

@robert_smith36 nailed it with the "weave by hand" thing lol. Like ma'am, I'm a carpet installer not a magician.
