the other way is to go in here and cut a 45 off of each side of your laminate flooring and then go ahead and you put it back into the corner and what that does is it makes all your grains run on a 45 from your corner but you are wasting a lot of material on the pieces that you cut off and it gets rather expensive when you are doing a large room. actually, i thought about the ‘service station,’ i worked at when i was a 16 year old boy.
