Complete Flooring Installation and Add Baseboards

Watch Out For This When Redoing Floors In an Old House
What happens here
The presenter completes the installation in the final bedroom. He notes the challenge of installing planks against the grain direction (when working from a new starting point or changing direction), which makes the angle-locking mechanism much harder to engage. He decides to work from the opposite side of the room to ensure the planks are always installed in the correct direction relative to the locking mechanism. He also mentions the need for transition pieces at doorways but holds off on installing them to allow for door trimming. After all flooring is laid, he installs beefy 1x6 (actually 3/4" by 5.5") baseboards, painted white, which he prefers for making ceilings appear taller and providing a clean, finished look.
Goal: Finish laying all vinyl planks and install new baseboards for a polished look.
