Our hallway is an L shape and the installer has laid the laminate floor in the configuration shown in the diagram below.
I would like to know if it is ok for the tiles that have been placed in a non staggered format to remain that way? Each tile covers the whole width of the room and because of this the installer says it is structurally fine. What would the ideal pattern and layout be, both structurally and aesthetically? Any advice would be appreciated.
What is the distance between joints at the top of the L? The instructions that came with my laminate flooring stated no joints should be closer than 12"

[color=#383a3b]So i need some advice on replacing a small piece of broken board underneath a vent in one of the house's main rooms.[/color]
[color=#383a3b]I've attached a picture, but i'm not too sure what kind of wood this is and how I would cut it out precisely to make it not look so out of place.[/color]
[color=#383a3b]The wood is stained with Minwax Jacobean 2750 Wood Finish.[/color]
[color=#383a3b]There's a vent off to the side that goes over this hole so it looks decent. Just that little piece of wood is cut off.[/color]
[color=#383a3b]Anybody have any idea what kind of wood this is or a good tool to cut off a piece just over the next joist?[/color]
[color=#383a3b]My only guess may be Ash because it's readily available around my area.[/color]

Hi everyone. Connecticut here (USA). The wife and I are finally getting around to do the dining room and living room floors. My house is 121 yrs old. 1/2 sub 1/2 concrete. The living room and dining room are 1/2 sub. So I have original pine on living room. Dining room has plywood(I don’t know why). Plywood is solid, no signs of moisture, I don’t feel any structural problems(bouncing). We been here for 20yrs. We pretty much ripped the house apart, updated electric, insulation(which there was none), walls, etc…
so. We are gonna go with a solid wood. But I want to put a vapor/foam barrier down before flooring. Do I need to worry about trapping the moisture underneath? If I lift the org pine in living room and the plywood in dining room there is dirt. It’s the ground. Maybe enough room for a cat(hunching).
the ext of the house is stucco from ground up to roof. No entrance to crawl space(if you wanna call that). I do have a radon pump/motor for sub floor. But is that enough to move air around?
I want vapor barrier down Bc it gets VERY damp inside. I put in a whole house dehumidifier.Bc there is dirt below. In the winter. Floors are cold, chilly. If I have to. I can put in vents on the ext of the front porch. But I don’t wanna go through 1” stucco, wire mesh, 3/4” tongue groove wood. It s*cks.
