Adam and I are staying in the home of a couple in our ward in a section of their house that they are turning into an apartment. They asked us to refinish the wood floors in that section of the house in place of paying rent for this summer. They are paying for supplies, we just provide the labor.
This week we got started. Neither Adam nor I have ever refinished a wood floor before, so this is a learning experience. First we cleared out the two bedrooms, moving everything into the living room. We will be living in that room (plus the bathroom and kitchen) until we have finished the floors in the bedrooms.
Friday, we began sanding with a rented sander. It was only rented for the morning. We were not able to finish sanding both rooms. We also had a rented edger to work with. The edger worked too well, sanding off more than we wanted. We probably won't be using the edger anymore. We are going to try a different kind of sander for the edges. We will see how that works. We learn as we go.
