Thanks Joe!

Its a “yes” on the brick pattern for vinyl #3. But it will be a while before I have to deal with that layout.

I figured the fireplace was going to be fun. Thanks on the suggestion to work from any angled ends of rows. I can see how that will save a lot of trial and error. But I am kind of concerned on how the plank ends up in other areas of the house like the center opening between the dinning room and the living room. I was thinking of measuring and drawing all the lines in the rooms and measuring for the outcomes along the more visual areas of the floor plan. Then adjust the starting plank width to get the best outcome.

The second photo is of the width of the center wall. Its wider than the plank. The wall is 8 3/4′ thick and the plank is 7 11/16″ wide. Do you think I should try and work it out so that a full plank is dead center of the wall or run a plank joint down the center? Its a really solid joint but needs leveling.
