Small win today on a tricky L-shaped hallway install

I was laying luxury vinyl plank in this narrow L-shaped hallway in an old house near downtown Austin. The walls were way out of square and I kept fighting with my spacers. Finally stopped and cut a custom cardboard template for the turn, saved me from ripping out three crooked rows. Has anyone else ditched the measuring tape and gone straight to templates for tight spots?

Yeah cardboard is cheaper than my blood pressure meds.

Cardboard templates are the only way to fly in old houses.
