Hi Toolgal
This laminate flooring is pretty good stuff. As for installing a full length of the room at a time , you don't have to do it like that. After your first row on the wall (tongue against wall) , stagger the next piece so that the seams don't line up(cut one piece, or use the last piece you had to cut, on the other end) then snap it in place . The next full length piece can be snapped in place, as close as you can get to the other butt joint without overlapping. Then once you have done that, you can tap the butt joints together with the tool Jim shows. They will come together and seat flush. Not all laminates can be done this way but I used uniclic too and no problem. One piece at a time, tap it with the tool, first length wise , then on end joint, and so on.
Remember , even when you clic a full piece in place , it should be tapped together on the long side with the tool and you will see a tighter fit.
Hope this helps
