Well actually that is what I really used, instead of raw wood. You can purchase melamine covered particle board in 5/8" & 3/4" thicknesses and various widths and lengths at Lowes, HD, etc. I put 1x4 melamine ledgers on the walls and then put the melamine shelving material on top of the ledgers. A little more work than the VSing but so much nicer.
Had a walk-in closet with a swing door, it smelled. I guess it was the dry cleaning fluid from my suits, and the shoe-polish. Not sure how to vent a closed closet, maybe slatted doors. Ken
I had 4x6 ac vents in ours and the doors were undercut (we had maple laminate floors). My wife put some cedar balls in an abrasive bag and hung it on the backs of the doors so that everytime they opened the balls would be aggravated into getting up off some of that scent.
They also make a small vent (6x8) that can be installed in the wall above the doors in non-load bearing walls. Those are now required in all sleeping rooms in SW FL.
Go to Wikipedia.org and search for BitTorrent. My favorite BitTorrent client software is uTorrent. Not all content on the BitTorrent network(s) is illegal, too, by the way.

It's cool, free, libre and open source.
I'm not surprised that your wife has your balls hanging in the closet and that they're pissed off about it. ;)
RWorking at the office, I got to see a lot of laminates and rubber floors and general workaday materials. Fairly impressed with what's available these days. Probably should have paid more attention to costs. But there were some darned nice looking, even fun things going on in laminates. And some hideous stuff but that's all relative. What you saying 'bout my cousin? Me, I'm all for Corian (yeah, by brand, the others just don't seem to look as nice) and concrete for the kitchen counter.

I'm with you there too I think... What do you think about terrazzo-type floorings or stainless-steel kitchen counters that bend up to form a backsplash? Then again, how about kitchen islands away from the walls?

I don't think the gaps under the usual doors is enough. Slats don't go with everyone's decor...
I know what you mean, tho'. Boots, leather jackets/coats, sneakers, and so on - it can build up. And those "air fresheners" only add to the olfactory soup :p
There are prob. various ways to use some sort of spacing etc. in the door structure that'd still allow the look of a panel door - I'm mantally picturing a few ideas while typing, but I'd have to do them up in 3D before I'd have a real sense of what they might look like. Of course, they'd probably cost "too much".
OTOH, if one's decor is less "traditional", venting could be decorative, but again, I'd have to model it and render it, becasue it'd be much faster for me and much less painful for any readers, than me trying to describe what I'm picturing

Hmmm, it says: "BitTorrent greatly reduces the load on seeders, because clients generally download the file from each other."
So does that mean other people can access your computer...? If so, they can keep it...
Legality - eh, whatever, that whole argument gets very goofy very quickly anyway. Back when I was living in Vancouver BC, a tax/charge was put onto *EVERY* blank CD purchased to "make up for" the money lost by McMegaMusic companies on royalties. I only ever used CDs to back up my own files, so that bit of socialist absurdity was very annoying. ALso, no matter what one mentions, be it a product, a procedure, even an idea, the fact is that human nautre is what it is - IOW, some, and maybe most, people will stay with the inteneded beneficial purpose, but some people will insist upon using it for illegal or legal-yet-still- nefarious purposes. Aside from never putting out a product, procedure, etc., there is no what whatsoever to completely stop anything from a potential illegal and/or harmful use.
So the IMO there is no need to justify file-sharing by saying "not all the files are illegal". My problem is the thought that other people could get into *my* computer and wreak having either witing it, or through it...

Sounds good.
Melamine, that was the word I was trying to recall. ((Nobody would ever title my biography "Total Recall" =:-o ))
You can also get melamine paint.
One thing I wonder about is, why melamine or even enamel paint isn't used on shelving, trim, and any/all other high-use surfaces. I guess latex is just cheaper. Or maybe people think that Melamine or enamel would look "cheap" or something...? Personally, in at least certain instances, I like the look of enamel, esp. when contrasted with matte surfaces. But for any high-use areas, it seems like it'd make so much sense - the latex gets too easily dinged, and IMO, gloss is gloss - if the shelving, trims, etc. are going to be painted with high-gloss latex anyway, enamel would IMO just look better - and for longer!
Benzene's (new car smell) may contribute to Leukemia, ((granddaugher caught that in June, but the chemo is working well and she's doing excellently, she's a super-trooper :-)).
The best theory I have is to put a cental air input into it to force some ventilation. The closet I refer to was a little warm because it had no exterior walls, but having an upper vent and a lower door vent would bleed the warm air out of the closet by convective circulation. Ken
Yeah...I did not think the reference the swing I was talking about...it's cool now. jojo

I like the laminate panels as art/hobby surfaces. They can be put onto a light board with a treated back, and be taken up and put away when you're not using the surface are tough and cleanable (you can get paint splatters off and then have a smooth surface for drawing), yet at the same time, inexpensive enough so that one can have one surface for modeling clay and concrete, another surface for painting, a third for drawing, and so on.
Frankly, I'm toying with the idea of possibly using laminate (if I can find a suitable color/patter) for at least part of the bathroom wall, as a sort of wainscotting. Still have a slew of other things to do first, but it's a thought ;)
Yeah, other users can access your files, but only in the one folder that you designate. And as soon as I'm done downloading a file(s), I remove everything from that folder so it's always empty, and I shut down the BitTorrent client. So people can only download from me whatever it is I'm in the process of downloading, and only for a very short time until I remove it and shut down my client. BitTorrent is built on the premise of sharing, hence the access to this shared directory. They're trying to distribute the sharing as broadly as possible--that's by design. There's absolutely *no* practical way that anyone can access your system beyond your shared folder, assuming you're using a reputable BitTorrent client.
It's reasonably safe.

Do you know what an *open port* on your machine means? If you allow files to enter your machine, you have an open port. Open ports allow duplex traffic, that is, stuff flows both ways. Try this: Try to use bit torrent with Norton running and see what happens. The thing that makes bit torrent risky is that its happening in real time and there is no way to stop an evil deed. Downloading files from a newsgroup, which is my preferred method, deals with static files. If you play with BT long enough you will get burned, bad.

Until someone hacks into the other directories..?
It sounds OK in principle, but I don't trust anything that allows access to my computer, and avoid that as much as posible. Guess I'll pass on the free files.
Thanks for the explanation, tho', since I didn't know what it was. You also helped me make up my mind ;)
