I'm laying laminate flooring right now and ran into a larger problem that I thought.

If you can imagine my house has double front doors that open to a foyer than the living room. At the edge of the Foyer both the walls extend out, one side are the large windows where the couches are and the other side is the entertainment center cut out.

We began running the laminate and are at the last line at the large windows. The wall is seriously crooked. What is the best course of action for cutting the wood to fit the wall? It starts at 6 1/8 and within 12 inches goes out to 6 1/2 and larger. The nice part is is does not go wider than my laminate planks so there won't be a gap.

Next question. How do you place the last piece in?

I'm not a pro at flooring but you will probably have to rip (cut with table saw) to the proper dimensions.

Hang in there and lets wait for one of our flooring guru's to chime in.
