Another major step in the kitchen renovation. Unfortunately this is one that has sent us running from the house on a daily basis due to the extremely unpleasant, headache-causing smells of floor finishes.
February 18th brought a new contractor to our home with the floor sander and stain. Day 1 of floor finish work — red oak floors sanded and min-wax Golden Pecan stain applied. In this photo, taken from the deck through the sliding door, it had just been finished and was not dry yet.
Days 2 and 3 (Saturday and Sunday) each brought a coat of poly finish. Shinier floors, but smellier house. We spent most of the weekend out and about when we could.
