And we are out...

We were in, and now we are back at Max's parents' house... because we are refinishing the hardwood floors! We must have broken some sort of record this weekend, because we started sanding at 7 pm on Saturday and were done by 10 pm on Sunday! And even though it's a small house, it has hardwoods throughout! Of course we can barely move, and every cell in our bodies is in pain, but hey, we saved a ton of money by just renting the equipment for one day!
The floors are looking super, and we are almost ready to put down the varnish, we just have to do the stairs by hand, cause the "little" machine was too heavy for me to handle down the stairs, and Max was doing the monster belt sander (I tried for a second, no way...) so I'll tackle them with a hand sander, then thoroughly clean the entire house, and the first coat of urethane goes down tonight! We should be back in our house sometime Thursday, after 3 coats of finish and enough time for it to cure, I hope... and ready to move in for real! All our furniture, all our stuff... oh boy!
