It is so great to find a good looking floor under something as ugly as you started with. Great Job! -
Yes, I was skeptical but it really is gorgeous stuff. Just needed a little TLC. -
Stunning! You can't buy flooring like that anymore! Good thinking and good job! -
Nice I admire the hard work, the reusing and money savings Nice Job! -
It did take a while to get it all done, but let's just say, I love my table planer!

Wow I guess you DO! That is Fabulous Rachael! I'm so glad you chose not to re-stain it....I can't imagine anything more beautiful that the natural aging of the wood... -
Wow it looks brand new! -
gorgeous floor! give yourself a pat on the back for all of the hard work! -
Nice...its ready for its next 100 years -
wow .. it restored beautifully! -
Rachael, I hope you and your other half plan to live in this house forever after all the blood, sweat and tears you must have in it.............not to mention you need time to enjoy the bounty of your time!! Beautiful! -
We have hard wood floor upstair that we want to do the same but I donn't know where to rent the sander. -
Check with HoDe MMP. Or Google Sander Rentals with your city and state.

Thank you Becky, will do.

We just rented ours from a hardware store like Lowes or Menards or Ace. Several places keep them on hand and have the sandpaper to go with it.

I too did that.reclaimed from the old town hall down the road built about the same time as my house. over 700 pieces ! cleaned with a heat gun -
now you know why we recommend a solid wood flooring and not laminate or vinyl.... Solid wood flooring you can sand and it is brandnew again! -
I want to do this in our home.. hardwood throughout, it likes as if they were never sealed. Wonder if I have it in myself to do it alone.. hhmmm BTW your floors look great!
