Today started the serious kitchen floor refinishing. Yesterday, Gilbert the floor guy spent the entire day on his knees sanding down the kitchen and laundry room floors. He sealed off the rooms with plastic first (thanks, Gilbert!) and had at it. Naturally, it was also the hottest day of the year.Today the sanding is mostly complete and Gilbert started staining and finishing the two floors. The kitchen is redwood, but the laundry room is Douglas fir, so they're different colors. We decided not to stain the redwood and just put a clear protective finish coat on it. The fir we're staining "spice brown" to match the redwood.
And it looks pretty good! The rooms are sealed off now to prevent dust (and people) from ruining Gilbert's work. Tomorrow he comes back to apply another coat.
