  • Plank coming together around another room

    Hey Joe, I guess my question is (and maybe I am overthinking this), now that the backside is complete, I am worried about the plank coming together just perfect through the main room and reconnecting the other side of the hallway. So far I have been using the grout lines in the existing tile as a guide but this one has been bugging me. Any advice is appreciated.

    Joe, Since I posted I started taking measurements. Since the wall is staggered around the corner in the back it is hard to get a straight line measurement. I walked off 30 planks from the pic that has the transition (I used the transition to protect the locking system for the next room) and transferred the measurement to where the plank ends in the hallway in pic 2. 10 plank measures 86 5/8 so 30 plank measures 259 7/8. I’m nearly 1/4″ off over 30 plank. If I had watched you videos before I started I think I should have made a line at the far side of the room towards the master around the furthest wall of the kitchen. At this point I think I will still have to chalk the line there but start with a full row of plank at the far end (first pic) as there is 5/8″ plus the raised drywall to compensate the 1/4″ discrepancy just slide the plank under the baseboard a bit more. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Again, RC

      Hey Joe, Thanks for your input. I did put the transition mold there to stop before the wall because the next step is to do the big room and wrap it around.

      1) I measured 10 [plank to 86 5/8″

      2) I walked 30 plank to the center of the back hall and measured from the same row back 259 7/8″ to the same point. It is exactly 1/4″ 0ff. The Straight green line is 259 7/8″ and the hall line is 259 3/8″ The red highlight is the wall that I can possibly buffer the difference as there is baseboard to maybe make up for the difference.

      Maybe because the hall has two 45’s it’s hard to measure exactly but i am taking measurements from the 10 plank measurement and multiply by 30 plank.

      I did base my layout on the grout lines initially and all is straight up to that point.

      Hopefully I am on the right track here.

      Thanks Again,

      RC
