... in the ensuite bathroom. The tiles were laid yesterday and Saturday.... but, now the room is piled high with doors, a bathtub and the surround for it ...some shelving and oh, yes... sandpaper. Sandpaper for the big sanders....
The hardwood (which is everywhere except the bathrooms) was given a first sanding today.... then, coated with filler and the second sanding is underway.
WOW. I was a total skeptic when the contractor told me the hardwood sanding would be "dustless". Yeh...right ...and I'm the Queen of the Nile. I can't remember my exact words...but, they probably were more or less that...or maybe shorter four letter ones....can't say for sure.
Well....it is. Dustless that is. Totally. I'm still in shock. And, I love it.
The sanders have big bags on them...... plus they are attached to long vacuum cleaner hoses that lead to this.... two vortex vacuums. Almost 90% goes into the small one...and the really fine stuff ends up being siphoned off into the larger one....somehow.....
Sanded entryway.. .. the old hardwood...with patched areas...
Now that I can see that beautiful wood under there all sanded and pristine, I just want to leave it like that! No stain, no colour not even any lacquer ... it looks amazing...
But, ...colour we must.... and choose we must......drat......
