Re: Hardwood Floors Update
The wood is all down and sanded and ready for the first coat of finish. All coats should be down by Monday and then it’s just a matter of waiting for the acidic fumes to dissipate.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Hardwood Floors Update
Looks nice.
Before I retired I refinished the hardwood gym floor every Summer at the school I worked at. Didn't sand it down to bare wood but wet screened it with a rotary scrubber, rinsed it very well and then put down a coat of varnish, next day would rough it up with a pad, tack it several times, and put down the final coat of varnish. Took about 15 gallons of urethane varnish per coat so you can imagine how long it took for the smell to go away. Big job, took the most part of a full week. Don't miss doing it but it was nice to see how shiny and beautiful it looked after all that work.

Re: Hardwood Floors Update
The floors are complete!
This is how they laced the two rooms together. It is amazing that the two rooms aligned perfectly. They were done with a wall in place. When I knocked the wall out I was surprised. Here is the finished lace. I also put hardwood in two bedrooms and two walk-in closets in the main bathroom (not shown).

Re: Hardwood Floors Update
Looks like you had a very good installer. That makes all the difference. The guys that did the gym floor at my school were good, they put a volleyball standard holder in the wrong location and the guy that removed it and patched it did such a good job that you couldn't see where it was patched, if you got down on your knees and looked very closely you could just barely see where he had to surface nail the last board in. Saw the floors that were put in at a later date at a couple other schools by a different company and they looked terrible compared to mine. The school district should never have accepted them.
