Sucks to learn by mistakes. What I did, though is I marked the center of each short wall, lined up a complete row of boards and drew a straight reference line with a pen on top of the underlayment. After adding parts of a few more rows, it looks fairly straight to the eye. With seemingly every wall being slightly crooked, maybe this is as good as it's going to get. The end boards will be about 1/2" narrower at the end of a 20' distance on one side. More like a 1/4" difference down that majority of that wall when you consider there is a pretty decent bow at the starting corner. The adjacent wall, the boards are running fairly straight on. I also have a little laser pointer, and I lined it up with the tiles in the previous room's doorway and ran it across, which gives another reference., and this runs fairly in-line to the straight wall. I did think about shifting the line to the right just slightly so that both ends will have measure a slight difference from start to finish. Maybe this is what should be done? Hopefully what I've got will be decent enough that I'll hardly notice. I may play with it a little more before I get the first row where I want it. I know once I get that row done, the rest will be easy.</blockquote>
