The Dust Settles
Sunday, July 10, 2011 at 11:06AM Our wood floors will never be fit for a gymnasium, nor a ballroom, but they work for a pub, they work for Forest & Main. Each room was a different sanding job. The first room was a breeze, we thought we’d be finished in no time based on that one. Then we got to the entry way which had a strange layer of compressed paper all over. We attacked it with the grinder and filled up several trash bags with paper shreds, the stuff was everywhere…
The entry way floors prior to sanding.The next room had an ancient layer of paint, glue, and who knows what else, all around the perimiter of the room. This nasty mix gummed up our sanders in no time. We scraped, peeled, and sanded, for a long, long time.

With the floors fully sanded we were excited to get them finished. A few coats of poly later and we had ourselves some nice, rustic, wood floors. It was a great stroke of luck that we wound up with floors that matched the character of F & M so perfectly.
The bare wood floors.
Sanded and stained.
And now to pick the wall color...

If you wish to succeed, you should use persistence as your good friend, experience as your reference, prudence as your brother and hope as your sentry.
