The New Old Floor, Part II

All this week Gilbert the floor guy has been sanding, staining, and finishing the floors in the second-floor kitchen and laundry rooms. He finished on Friday and it's been drying over the weekend.

Gilbert sealed off both rooms, first to prevent the sanding dust from escaping, then to prevent outside dust from entering and ruining his finish. I've kept the doors shut... until now.

I had a peek Sunday evening to see what Gilbert hath wrought. Methinks he doth good work.

The floors even match, even through they're different species of wood (redwood in back; Douglas fir in front). It still smells like wood stain in there, but I imagine that'll go away as soon as we open up the doors and windows and get a little air in there.

Tomorrow -- fingers crossed -- the kitchen cabinets go in.
