I am preparing to do my second laminate job and have come across something I don't have enough experience in, namely - closet doors. I'm trying to figure out which direction to run the laminate so that the closet doors and the entry doors will all work out best. One tutorial said to lay laminate between the two jambs of the closet door and then work away from it. (in line with my drawing this would be up and down lengths.) Another said to lay the laminate 90 degrees to the door jambs. (this would make it run left to right lengths.) Which would work best? I'm also worrying about how the doors turn out, but since one door goes one way and the other another, one of them will be more of a pain to do than the other. Would love some input from experiences folks... (Drawing not showing, prob needs permission from admins....sorry bout that....)

Not sure where to post this but since I'm leaning toward something like hardwood on top I figured I'd start here. So, my daughter is in competitive dancing and I'm trying to help out. One of the ways I have in mind is to turn my mudroom into a tap dancing room for her to practice away from the studio. It's vinyl on concrete now so I was thinking of 2x4 framing with 3/4" plywood on top (framing something like 10-12" OC). The more I think about it, though, the more I don't like the plywood on top because the only reasonable way I can think to fasten it to the sleepers is screws through the top and I don't want a bunch of screws in the layer on which she's dancing. Hence, I'm now thinking about maybe some tongue and groove flooring as the top layer or something like that. Anyone have any ideas? Additional details: The area is about 5'x8' and there's a heat vent along the far wall which I want to remain functional.
