Sanding the floors with the orbital sander...
The kitchen floor was horrible...as you will see below...
NOW---sanding with the DRUM SANDER!!!! YEAH!!!! If you have floors that are 2 inches thick like ours, the orbital sander barely does anything...go for the drum sander no matter what the guys at Home Depot tell you. It cut through our floors like butter (cheezy analogy but true!)
The living room after we finished sanding...so beautiful!
In the process of staining the floors
Now, here is the before and after of the living room. The living room is the one room that is basically finished and it is our current pride and joy!
