When you install the hardwood floors and get to the other side of the room you may have to cut the boards down the length to finish the last row. I got to the last few rows and used the 16g nailer where the flooring nailer couldn t be used.

Use the straightest boards available for the last rows. Not all laminates will allow you to install the plank in this manor. Some locking systems will not allow you to connect the long side first and then tap the end joint together. I have been on the same complete gut reno addition since i started with the company.

The last rows are blind nailed by hand. To avoid damage to the wall place a board behind the pry bar. The flooring may need to be pried into place. Pull rows tight with pry bar tapping lightly with mallet to pull tighter.

After cutting the laminate to the correct size i will install it with the pull bar along the long side of the plank. Watch installing unfinished hardwood flooring.
