I just did my place and same thing. The ID said exactly the same thing! Maybe we got the same ID? As I was construction trained, I had an extensive argument with the ID (by right, they should have measured the laminates to size and cut properly in the factory but these guys nowadays used those China guys who are **** smart alecks; they paste a big strip of laminate and then used a file to just pare down the joint!!???!!! Of course, the silly backing line will show! Anyway, they should just stop using such lousy laminates!!) and later when he lost, he sent his carpentry guys to argue. In the end, they just used touched-up paint on the laminate joint lines!??!!
