Paul, this spout is from a 24x20 sqft roof only. I have another one like that from same size of roof in the center of the back yard via underground pipe. That one feeds 2 August Moon and a Diamond Tiara, plus other perennials. The following photo shows plants around my 3rd downspout/ underground pipe discharge of rain water, see center right the black pipe under patio blocks. This one is fed by both sides of a 40x40 ft roof. The water turns left behind the Big Daddy in the middle, in between several Astilbes and continues for another 60 ft from the center left on a former path converted to a dry creek bed on gravel and stones. And it works, during steady rain the water actually runs down that path until it disappears under a fence. Clockwise from the top : a row of Albomarginatas, Fortunei Albopicta, Old Glory, Marilyn Monroe, lancifolia, astilbes, Big Daddy in Center. This is how far my hostas have opened up in my zone 5a. Sorry about all that red mulch, but it was half price around $1 / cft. windchime : Ivory Coast's now yellow margin will turn white in summer. It looks like a smaller Liberty. Reading my notes from last year, I did not update my eye counts yet, it had 6 eyes also last year, same as now. But then I did this BAP-10 treatment last year, so it did the increase in eyes last year for this year. Bernd

Hi DW- I love Coretec! I have used it in several applications including this Hair Salon, but also in a residential space. The color I used in both of these projects I am including here is Blackstone Oak, and it was selected because both of my clients wanted it to read Warm and cool, and this flooring had a nice mix of the two colors. With regard to the bevel, I would recommend avoiding it, as it does tend to make it harder to keep clean. While Coretec offers a lifetime warranty in a residential installation (assuming your installer does it to specs), but the bevels, while they are trendy, tend to show wear sooner since it exposes other areas of the flooring moreso than others, and dirt tends to get stuck inside of the creases more often. Good luck with your project! Sounds like you're on the right track! This is the blackstone oak in a residential installation. This is the same flooring in a Hair Salon Commercial installation. Both with out bevels so it will stay nice longer! Good luck on your project!

Check all the trim pieces from Coretec before installation! We had a Palo Alto Walnut Coretec floor installed in August. As they were getting ready to install the T-moulding I realized the color was off. Also it was supposed to be skimmed in the same pattern as the planking but wasn't. They didn't install it. The quarter round was also off but similar enough in color that we agreed to keep it. FIVE MONTHS later Coretec informed the installer that Palo Alto Walnut is discontinued and we won't be getting the T-moulding. Back to square one. I am so frustrated. My guess is that they are outsourcing the trim pieces without telling anyone. Someone mentioned that Shaw bought Coretec.

I have just had my walls painted. Now going to do the flooring. So glad I waited to do the flooring. The painting and new blinds make the rooms look so much brighter. Previously considered the Calypso oak before the painting and was hesitant. Does it have a warmer golden or honey cast to it. Pictures don't seem to be accurate. I need a lighter color don't want anything that is dark and going to show the dust etc. Some of the lighter colors looked washed out. Don't want a golden color either but would prefer it be a warmer look. Do you like the Calypso oak and is it easy to clean.
