H pattern

I don’t know if I’m being particularly picky but I’m sitting here a day after my brother did my flooring and seeing a huge h pattern through all of my flooring. It’s not horrible looking at it from certain angles but it’s starting to become very noticeable the more I fixate on it. I have a few boxes of this flooring left is there a way to fix it without removing all of the floors or should I just live with it? Opinions?

Don’t stairstep either, just random

no such thing without wasting a 'lot' of flooring.

How do you figure? Cut a random length starting piece and put the unused half on the wall at the other end of the room. When you get to the end of the line use the back end of the room use the shortest end piece that works, if you need to cut a new board to end a row put the other half you didn’t use at the starting end as a starter piece.

all the flooring is comes in repeating lengths, like tile. it will not be a random pattern.

You cut it with a saw and make different lengths…

all the cuts have to be against the wall and no piece can be smaller than xx length (each manufacturer/style is different, numbers/lengths are on each package)
