right bottom corner it was also easy going until I ran into the long
boards that run from the center of the wall to the ceiling...I'm lost
as to how to get these boards to meet exactly in the center as now I
do not have anywhere to tap the boards to the center line once I get
the boards onto the tongue and tap into place the downward movement of
the board leaves a gap in the center of the wall. This would not be a
problem if I intended to cover the center line gap with a vertical
strip but I would rather not. Any suggestions on how to "move" these
boards to the center line once they are joined to the lower board's
tongue? I'm considering some sort of dry lubricant applied to the
bottom tongue after perhaps sanding some of the tongue down to allow
me to shove the boards to the center line???





How about using one of the hook tools used to install laminate flooring:
