Flooring – How to lay last row of Hardwood Flooring under an undercut the Baseboard

flooring

I've (almost) decided to undercut my baseboards before installing a hardwood floor. For the last row of planks, how do I get them under the undercut baseboard, i.e. won't the second to last row interfere due to the height? What's the trick?

Edit: This is not a floating floor.

Ok I'll keep guessing.

If this is nail down with no tongue and groove then you slide the piece in and then use a glazer's bar to pry it back out while you nail it.

If this is tongue and groove nail down or glue down then

  1. quarter round
  2. or micro-round
  3. or cut the tongue off the last piece and glue to avoid face nail.
  4. or cut the tongue off, create a biscuit, glue the biscuit and pry the last piece back onto the biscuit and glue this piece down to avoid face nail.

If you don't want 1/4 or micro round your option seems to be either 3 or 4.
