House Update

The house is slowly coming along. One of these days we will finally be finished and able to move in. I really wish it was sooner than later, but what can you do.?

So far we have the hardwood floors sanded and resealed. They look so much better than they did before. Granted we didn't get them completely pristine, but the major problems are gone. I do like some of the scratches, dings, wear marks etc. left in them. It gives them character and lets you know that they have been around for a while.

We are very pleased with the way that they turned out. I just hope that they wear well and we don't have to do it for quite a long time to come. The sealant that we used is used for bowling alleys, so hopefully it will wear well. Now I need to find out how to clean them and such to keep their shine and not to break down the sealant.

So the next projects were the be the priming, painting, carpet install and kitchen floor redo. So we are getting there. Everything is complete except for the kitchen. The tile is down, but needs to be grouted in and sealed. I will post pictures of these things in the next few days. I didn't want to completely over whelm you with pictures.

Here are some before and after pictures of the floors.
