freshly sanded floors
The floor guys were able to start a day earlier that we'd expected. Day 1 was a heavy sanding of the 3 rooms and the hallway.
Yesterday the floors were covered in decades of paint, this morning they are fresh and golden. Today will see a more fine sanding and then application of the first coat (of whatever it is I'm not even really sure...). The change already is amazing, it was shocking to walk downstairs this morning.
Future dining room. First seen here.

Who did you get that would sand the paint off. When I was pricing it out awhile back I had a heck of a time finding some one that would do it.

We had our floors re-finished just 2 weeks ago! It's so worth it!

We're thinking about getting our floors redone in the (relatively) near future. Our little bungalow has quite a few dips and one sizeable rise in the floor in various places. How "level" was your floor, and how did the floor guys handle the bigger high and low spots?

How exciting- I'm getting ready to refinish my doug fir floors, and spent all of October removing linoleum from it. Your posts give me an idea what to expect. I can't wait to see the "real" floor. What kind of wood is that?

The work is being done by Joe Bell. His company has a great reputation around these parts & did our floors upstairs. They said they the paint was really on there, a few layers and not easy to get off. We can not say enough good things about these guys.
Our floors are pretty level, though there are individual boards that were up/down or slightluy cupped. The dips appear to have been sanded with a smaller sander; the boards that were high are level now.
The flooring is regular old pine board, not very wide or regular. It is original, and so 100+ years old.
