The White Death is Upon Us...
It snowed. Here. In Cincinnati. The first snowfall here in Cincinnati usually brings panic and some slight hysteria. We were due for 1-3" here in the Tri-State. This calls for news stations to do stories on how grocery stores are stocking up on bread, water, milk and other essentials. It's usually the talk of the day at work. Salt was put down at 2pm here at my work yesterday. A good 16 hours before the snow. The salt was already melted before I left work for the nite. I don't understand the White Death mindset. I dont understand how a large metropolitan area like Cincinnati can not handle 4-6" of snow. I dont understand the panic. I guess though moving from Cleveland where we had 120" the winter before we moved will do that to a person. So I laugh in the face of the White Death. HA...and DOUBLE HA. I won't let it get to me this winter.

From drab to fab for less than $300...
Rental of oribital sander = $62
Rental of buff sander = $24
Much sandpaper = $75
Polyurethane applicator = $6
Two cans of polyurethane = $64
Walking into a room and not getting your sock caught on a splinted piece of wood...PRICELESS
Well...yes. I did refinish our master bedroom floor. I must say I am pleased with the results. You can still see the marks from where people over the years have moved beds, furniture, and other objects on the unprotected floor. I say it gives the floor "character." Mrs. H. agreed. I really dont know what the PO's were doing. You can easily tell where they stained AROUND the area rug that used to lay in the middle of the floor. They must have been embarrassed by this and laid god awful linoleum on top of it later on. Needless to say, the floor doesnt have to suffer anymore. Also, the shiny new floor has really "perked" up the place. Now if only i could get rid of the polyurethane smell that lingers upstairs...
Here are a few pictures of the project.
Prepping for sanding.
Poor floor. Don't worry.
