Weekend Update

Well, we have had a busy, busy weekend! I don't know how I'm going to get anything done now that I go back to work and school...yikes! On Saturday, we rented a sander (you know, one of those really big ones), and we spent half the day sanding down all our hardwood floors. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of Don using it...I was too busy sanding the edges and corners with a hand sander.) The floors don't look so bad in the pictures, but they are pretty banged up and we weren't big fans of the light pine. Look at the difference in color!

Then, we spent about 4 hours staining the floors...this is the part that really sucked! 4 hours down on our knees or leaning over basically painting the floors...yuck! We were so tired when we finished (at like 11 P.M.).

Then, today we got up early again (thank goodness for Dunkin' Donuts decaf...LOVE IT!) and gave the floors another coat of stain. Only took like 2 hours this time since we didn't have to be so precise. We also got all our patio furniture put together, almost finished painting the basement and planted some flowers. All in all, it was a productive weekend...now back to the real world. :,(

I forgot to mention I painted the dining room blue on Friday...so here is a picture of it with the new floors (which still aren't done).

Here is one more pic of the living room with the new floor color.

Can't wait to put a couple of coats of polyurethane down :)
