Spent two whole days trying to get a single plank to fit in a weird corner
It was a 45 degree angle cut into a bay window, and the subfloor had a weird dip right at the wall. I must have trimmed that piece eight times, and it still rocked like a seesaw. What's your go-to fix for a stubborn spot that just won't lay flat?

My last bathroom floor had a corner just like that, a real nightmare. Honestly, I ended up mixing up a little batch of floor leveler in a cup and troweling it into that low spot before the final fit. Tbh, sometimes you just have to cheat and build the floor up a tiny bit. Let it dry completely overnight and that piece will sit like a rock.

That's the real pro tip right there. People get way too hung up on finding the perfect floor when sometimes you just gotta fix what's under it. Letting it dry overnight is key though, otherwise you're just making a spongy mess.

Oh man, "rocked like a seesaw" is the perfect way to describe that feeling. I've been there, and it's the worst. That floor leveler trick is a lifesaver for those weird dips.
