While we are on the subject (sort of) I thought I would let it be known, if anyone has any knowledge or energy on refinishing hardwood floors, this is the point where you can volunteer yourself.
Of course, the reason you should do this, is not only the opportunity to see Porkchop sans makeup, cute hair and matching outfit, but the benefit of my extreme gratefulness. After ripping up half the carpet, pushing and shoving furniture around and beating everything with a hammer, my back feels as if I have been sleeping on bags of railroad spikes, FOR A WEEK.
In any event, it will be just me, going at it with a sanding belt and getting all excited with the varnish.
It should prove to be excruciatingly painful.
I know nothing of hardwood floors, but I do have some Percocet left over from my oral surgery that I could send you...
i have just finished refinishing 3 bedrooms and a hall that has oak flooring. if you go to my blog and look on the right you will see "my photos". click on that and you will see a couple of my pictures on floors i have been working on. image 4 and 13.
