@diycrimes: 🚨 Flooring felony confession… I finished installing vinyl plank flooring in the laundry room and thought I crushed it. Then the baseboards went on… 😬 That’s when I noticed some board ends had too much gap at the wall, and now you can see the underlayment in spots. Somewhere along the way the floor shifted, a spacer moved, or I missed the measurement. Small mistake. Huge annoyance. Would this bother you every time you walked in the room? 👇 #DIYCrimes #VinylPlankFlooring #HomeImprovement #FlooringFail #DIYMistake
Why you use such thin baseboard, I use thicker ones so they are more forgiving of my diy efforts lol

Could put a drywall shim on the bottom side of base and you might cover

If you get a pull bar you can shift it back from the other end

In your defense, that baseboard is pretty thin. Not a lot of forgiveness. I would just replace that whole board, and try to do better next time 😂
