Things that I never would have gotten to do had we not redone the maple floors at Crashden:

Used acid on them to try to take out spots, applied with a tooth brush, but I think rugs will work better
Sweep a wall
Vacuum a window, including: the glass, the sill, the top, the frame and everything in between
Gotten 6 or less hours of sleep a night for 6 consecutive nights; tonight would make it 7…
Lay on bare wood floors
Dissolve into tears during the phone call to the appliance company after they delivered an electric dryer instead of a gas dryer and told me they are going to bring over a electric range and replace my gas range (I really like the gas range)
Sing Christmas carols (loudly and badly) into my respirator when operating machinery and know that no one can hear me
Used a vacuum to clean up before going home
Had bits of maple wood floors from the 1920’s on my eye balls

And a SPECIAL thanks to Bryna and John who have put in so much work this week with me and have really scarificed body, sleep and mental state.  (we aren't done yet either, but the sanding is!)

  1. Don't forget crawl around the floor on your hands and knees...for hours.

    Try to tame sanders who just want to run away and crash into the wall...for hours.

    Start viewing scuffs and differently colored areas as "character".
