Time to give the brain a rest and do those 12oz. curls. A little b-b-q and some late night Cache Creek spear fishing sounds like fun too.

Have a nice weekend!

The last time I sanded a floor, at 1st I used a drum sander....when I was done my brother suggested that I paint it blue & white. ??? blue for the water, and white for the crests. It took me a week to get it flat again with a flat-pad sander. Never again.....

That was my worry, too. But I found something a little different to use. It woked great! It's the Varathane (shameless plug) sander. It's a giant orbital sander with three huge pads. The skirt and vacuum keep the dust down and it gets REALLY close to the edging without damaging it.

The hard parts, for me, were stripping off all the existing varnish (EEEEEEEEEEEW!) and applying the stain evenly. I think the floors look pretty darn good now.

The next project is to finish the electrical wiring.
