And why is the frig and bathtub in the entry?
Time to tape off the doorways to rooms with tile floors. Neal has finished laying the fir flooring.
He rented two sanders, a drum and an orbital. For three solid days, he followed the things over the floors. And over, and over.
He asked why the orbital didn't come with a bag to catch the dust it generates. "They were combusting." he was told. So he hooked the shop vac up to the sander instead.
I took the sanders back to the mainland, and Neal started applying layers of Waterlox, an oil-based finish that we used in the Studio and liked. Three days and three coats later, we could peer through the windows at the beautiful floors.
The next morning, he left for Hornby. When he came home, the floors were dry enough to be walked on (gently).
