Mornin’, Joe!

We need a sanity check, please.

We made it out of Bdrm 1 and are now in the hall. We are thinking to leave the areas circled in blue unfilled at this time to allow the screwed in scrap pieces to give us a solid foundation to move into the next 2 bedrooms. We would backfill those later when we work in reverse into the Bdrm 2 closet and the landing at the top of the stairs. Is that the proper way to handle that? We have not worked in reverse yet with our drop and lock, so if you have a video recommendation to watch that would be great.

Also, what’s the best way to end the planks by the stairs, circled in red? What trim do we need? For not we left a little smaller gap but can cut it with the reciprocating tool later, if required.

Thanks in advance! Have a great day!
