Quick question(s).

I finished my renovation in my master bedroom (trim and all) before i learned that you should leave a gap (3/8 to 1/2) so that the pad/carpet can be tucked under the baseboard.

What should i do about the lack of space under my master bedroom baseboards? Use and ocillating tool cut one out? Leave it alone?

Thanks in advance.

Leave it alone. Most installers won't care one way or the other. You won't notice a difference with the finished product. On almost all old houses, the base sits on the floor.
