Wood

By Saturday afternoon, we had most of the linoleum off the floors. You can see the spots that really held on though.
An hour later, they were gone.

Daisy finally got to come inside again once we were pretty sure that we had removed all of the staples and nails. We did find quite a few more, but Daisy's paws are okay.

We started again Sunday morning.

This is the beginning of the sanding. We used really chunky sandpaper to start off with. Beneath the glue/black tar stuff, there was pink, blue, and brown paint.

An hour later, it looks even better!

Two hours later, it looks a lot better! Still a lot of the black stuff in the lower boards though. We used a scraper to get some of it off, but the sander worked out well too.

Two and a half hours later, and I am getting really excited (and tired). The sander doesn't get close to the edges, so we are going to have to do that later, but it sure did work good on the main part.

Four hours and fifteen minutes later the floor looks like this! It is just beautiful (except for the edges still).
