CRI installation standards

[highup]

I haven't read them for 15 or more years and wondering if much has changed.

I'm older now and don't really care anymore about the fine print. I just do what I do above and beyond the 'basics' every chance I get. I know what's wrong, so right is pretty obvious.
.......with the exception being patterned stairways.

Some of the old standards were wrong. I doubt that they were fixed.

Many moons ago when I first discovered there were actual installation standards, after reading them, I found I was doing almost everything mentioned. With years of experience, and knowing whats supposed to be done, you also know when the rules can be broken without harming the installation. aka: common sense.

If you intentionally break the rules the carpet police will find you and give you major rug burn.

My carpet tools were lost in a boating accident along with my guns.

Haven't seen Barney Fife in all my years of flooring........ he don't scare me, cause he'd probably get a paper cut pulling out his note pad and bleed all over the new carpet.

Good to put that on the record.
