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!
Before...
And after...
The outside before...
And after...

Oh my gosh! I love it! I'm so jealous! I want to live there. I love the paint color in the living room and I love the front door. You guys are amazing. It seriously looks so cute! I hope you're getting all settled. Way to go again!
Wow, it is very beautiful! I love it! Great job on the finished product. I bet it feels great to know you did it yourself!

Looks fantastic, Led. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the house!
Oh, and ditto about the drum sander. They are neat.
I can tell you got your tree from Sedgefield. It is perfect! David, glad you are keeping the tradition alive.

I saw ya'lls blog on Courtney's and had to add ya! The house looks amazing!! Great job!! Can't wait to see what the rest looks like!
I am so very happy/excited for you. Our first house in Maine had beautiful hardwoods under some rather nasty carpet. They were beautiful when finished. Y'all have done an amazing job. Congrats. Can't wait to see it.
Love, Auntie Kimmy
