Who has no clothes?
Now what would really impress me is if he did it with a straight face.
"Yes, ma'am. That will be three
!" I sure as heck can't do it.

LOL! I've been admiring Kellie's handiwork so it makes this patch attempt specially funny.

Lol!!! I'm sorry Mike but I'm dying right now! Are we gonna have to do a patch contest in Atlanta?!

In all seriousness thought, not all patches are going to look perfect. You only have so much to work with in some situations and it is what it is...
I've done a few that I had a hard time walking away from.

Wow. $300?
I will say that that carpet can be more difficult to repair than carpet with a longer nap. But, I am almost positive that the patch is turned the wrong way. A little straighter of a cut and making sure the tufts weren't tucked under the seam and it would have looked 100% better.

I also would've gone further over to get rid of that pink spot.
But it's possible Mike did not have enough carpet to work with?
The nap direction looks good it's just cleaner carpet. That gap is concerning though.
Not sure why you had to use glue @Mikey P? Do you have a Kool Glide?
As long as you give the seam tape ample time (15 minutes max) to cool and set you can clean right over it with no issues. I wouldn't necessarily rotary over it like a beast but a wand would've been fine. But that pink stain is right on the edge of the seam..

Yes, subsidized housing. This is a partial subsidy meaning they have some subsidized and some full pays. This one apparently is subsidized and apparently she is too broke to pickup poopThe state inspectors?
