[Carpentry] Re: How the heck do I put this piece in!!!

I had a similar situation doing our hall and my daughter's floor in laminate. I had to do it as described above for the most part but with a twist.

I do have wood trim so I was able to cut the trim first. But due to the way the doors inset there was no room to do the normal snap lock. So what I did when I got close was leave out a run or two, trim the lock groove on the door piece, then put it in place. Then I slid my missing pieces in and tapped them tight. one place I did glue it because it was both high traffic and the only way to guarantee a tight fit.
