Oddbean new post about login | logout After 8 days of sanding, I'm ready for putting on the oil, coach. I went from 36 grit, to 60, then 80, 100, 120 and, finally, 150. The missus vacuumed multiple times and then damp mopped twice. I'm sitting for a few minutes, with the heat pad on, before screwing up the courage to get up there and bend some more. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/149/452/612/212/original/8cfa3917fb4dec9c.jpg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/149/458/289/599/original/5e4e55e51628a6fe.jpg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/151/237/850/187/original/3f73bf877784e953.jpg
We've come a long way, baby. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/162/795/287/666/original/82f0f53d5f1b2ce3.jpg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/162/837/546/248/original/175f8be83f5c2928.jpg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/162/883/855/578/original/257c0fb34f1b6fde.jpg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/127/162/908/017/368/original/06f5af6294486940.jpg
And, I swear to God, in the 102 years since these floors were laid down, I don't think they've ever been properly sanded and re-stained; it seems as though generations of owners just did a light sand and then put darker shade after darker shade of stain down, over the years. I took literal grooves out of the walkway in the livingroom.
