Laying LVP in a house going for sale was depressing

Spent 3 days putting LVP in a flip house near Cleveland and the realtor complained about the color because it didn't match the cabinets. Nothing like having someone nitpick your work when the old carpet had actual mouse droppings underneath. Has anyone else dealt with flippers changing their mind mid-install?

Flippers changing their minds mid-install is pretty common, but usually it's because they forgot to check the samples under actual lighting. Mouse droppings under old carpet is a classic flip find, makes you wonder what else they're ignoring while fussing over cabinet colors. At least you know the floor's down solid, even if the realtor is more worried about matchy-matchy than clean subfloor.

@jadew63 mouse droppings? That's disgusting, man.

The realtor probably wouldn't notice a collapsed joist unless it made the backsplash crooked. These are the same people who stage a house with plug-in air fresheners right over the spot where the floor was rotted out.
