I think normally full rows are laid from one wall to the opposite wall.

I want to start my flooring on one wall by putting in only about 1/4 of the full length of that 1st row along the wall...
and then start building partial rows toward the opposite wall (of course butting up to the perpendicular wall)!
When finished with this section I will then start completing the other 3/4 of the job by butting and completing each row making my way to the opposite wall

It would make my life a lot easier with furniture, doors, etc!

Will I run into problems doing it this way?
Should I not be doing this?
Thanks Frank

First thing that comes to my mind is that you wouldn't have access to the tongues to nail/staple them on the ends. I'm sure someone else has a better answer than me though.

That is kinda how it is done. Building a ½ pyrimid. Stair stepping, with the end joints very random, so a pattern isn't developed.

I'm confused now...so you don't nail down a full row at a time? I understand the need to rack a few rows out before hand...but I didn't know that you could build up in a pyramid like that.
