Reply To: Starting in hallway almost perfect fit boards with doorjambs

Once again, thank you so much for your timeliness!

I was able to follow your explanation with the double cheater board method for the doorjambs around 22:00 mark. My only concern is that I’m needing scribe the doorjamb under the casing, and I likely wouldn’t be able to fit the cheater board under the casing with that fourth hallway plank glued into place. So I anticipate having to dry fit that to finish the hall and start in that third room just like you showed, and use scrap pieces to secure that 4th row into place for the time being.
