We are refinishing our dining room floor- Yikes we have never done this before.
Saturday I pulled up the carpet - LOOK What I found??? Wow that is NOT so beautiful. I believe that I am crazy!
Here is Shawn - look at all of the energy - trust me when I say that it was gone at Midnight.
Look at this finish from 1908 - WHAT DID THEY USE????? ARGH - It took us 12 hours of work removing this GUNK.
After 3 trips to home depot - this is our floor today at 5:00 PM - It was a process. Now all we have left to do is 2 days of Polyurithane. Can you hear the giddiness in my voice! No that is not the fumes - yet

The floor looks great now, but I question what is wrong with carpet. Mom says that it is an animal thing. Send us a picture of the final product.
I am having flashbacks to when we sanded our floors. What a head ache. The one thing I wish we would have done differently was to use a glossy poly instead of a satin poly. Now when it is clean and mopped I don't get the shine I want. Plus it dosn't look as glamerous. Use the glossy.
are you going to change your trim aswell?
Wow! That looks awesome. There is really nothing like a good wood floor.
