If you don't know what your doing leave it alone, or if the urge is too strong, at least talk to somebody who does 1st.

I'm loving that wallpaper.....I hope it's staying.
if you have done a hole with a holesaw but its the size too small and want to make it larger, then obviously its not as simple as just drilling away because you have nowhere for the centre bit to go and holesaw will just sbin around everywhere. you can do a jig with some ply, drill thr requred size hole thru the ply then scew that ipece down to the floor or whatever over the hole you want to make larger, this will keep the holesaw in place to start drillig!

Starret actually make holesaws you can fit inside each other to make that process easier
Laminate floors are a pain but not the end of the world, after fault finding a dead and empty radiator I deduced the problem pipe work had to be under the laminate floor in the dining room. I told the customer it had to be partially removed and I would do my best to put it back properly. I found two valves under there both turned off but I'd removed more or less half the dining room floor.
I was quite suprised that I managed to get it all back in one piece and when the customer came back from work she even said " so you didn't need to take it up after all!"
As long as you put the cut pieces in a seperate pile you cant really go wrong, also you have to ideally work backwards from the way it was fitted so start with the full length cut side.
This is just normal 6mm laminate though, don't know how easy it would be with the 18mm solid/engineered wood.
But its worth knowing it can be done for those of you that didn't know!
One tip. Permanent marker
Mark every board. And use the a-a b-b etc. When done. Use wipes that contain alcohol and robs your mums brother. BTW do a test in a corner if you think it may mark!
