Folks,
I am laying solid oak in hallway and living room, and design of the house means that hallway runs from front door and runs into the Living Room at the right hand side, which means there is one complete run of floor from front door to back wall. My question is where to start laying the floor - in the living room, or in the hall, as I am pretty sure that if I start in one I will find that it will not be square when I get to the other room. I was thinking of starting in LR, but I am not sure if it would be best to start along LHS side wall, which is completely clear, or RHS, which has fireplace with two alcoves alongside. If I start on LHS and keep square to that, I could possibly be way off square by the time I reach RHS, and extend down into the hallway, but if I start on RHS and keep square to fireplace, i will probably not be square either by the time I reach LHS wall, or when i extend into hallway.
So after all that confusion, can anyone offer me advice on the best way to start the floor, and also would you advise keeping the floor as one between hallway and Living Room, or breaking them into separate parts and putting doorstop or whatever at joint between the 2 rooms.
Thanks
Hope thsi isn't too confusing???
