Greg and everyone else

How do I finish the upstairs using the squeegee method (or any other method) when the door to the stairs is in the middle of a wall (8' to the corner on one side and 9' on the other)?

We've got 4 closets, 2 rooms and a "large" central room at the top of the stairs. All of the flooring in the diagram runs the direction of the red arrow.

The blue box is the door to the stairs. Normally, I think I'd want to finish near a corner, but I can't finish near a corner without then having to nail myself to the wall and wait for the poly to dry. There's got to be a way, I'm just not sure what the best way to keep from ending up with obvious evidence once the floors are dry?



And with the room on the left of the drawing. Would I 1) do the closet, and then 2) do the room?



Or since that would leave a "seam" in the doorway, would I start at the far left end of the room working my way towards the door until I got to the closet and then include the closet with the rest of the room so I don't have a seam at the door?
