I thought I would post some pics of the hardwood floors I refinished at my MIL's house she is about to put on the market. The house was built in the late 1950's, carpet was installed when they moved in the early 1970's.
Over the years dogs had been kept in the house and they stained the hardwood badly. I had a time getting those stains up.There was also a place were a planter must've been kept that was stained pretty dark. I was able to get most of those out with either wood bleach or clorox. there were a few that lightened up some but not completely.
I have written before about the special relationship I have with this house. Nothing ever seems to work out well when I have to repair something over there. The house actually gave me a break. Once I got the stains up the floors sanded really well. I drum sanded to 100 grit, then I put down 2 coats of oil based poly. I waited 2 days scuff sanded with a 3 head random orbital and put on the final coat.
I am glad this is done!!!!
