Refinishing the Floors

We had a super-duper exciting Easter weekend this year.

1. I got outside and did some yard work (post coming soon) AND......

2. Ed refinished the floors in our dining & living areas:

Step 1: Remove vents (find dust)

Step 2: Remove corner-round trim (blurry action shot)

Step 3: Ensure that all items are removed from floors...(work in progress here)

Step 4: Stare at the worn-out, scarred floor for the very last time

Step 5: tape plastic over all large openings (note clean-ness of shop vac, and very large sander)

Step 6: Navigate crowded hallways while Ed sands

Step 7: Note that brand-new shop vac no longer looks new

Step 8: Clean (this is after 1/3 of a room)

Step 9: Clean cleaning rag....again (this is after only 2 swipes...!!!)

Step 10: Admire sanded floor

Step 11: Take picture of Ed cleaning walls, to prove to his mum that he has grown up (p.s. this is staged - after this picture, he quickly found something else to do... :P)

Step 12: Nearly done first clear coat!

Step 13: Enjoy the newly finished, beautiful floor! Ed also hung the new curtains.

More new floor - notice anything else new?

So proud of Ed for all the hard work he did - and REALLY enjoying our new floors. They look amazing!!!
