And in other flooring news

Lest I seem a total complainer, I must admit that the bedroom floors reacted quite warmly to their de-carpet-ication.

And I can only image how quickly it might have gone if I had kept my cell phone on me and heard the two additional neighbors knocking on the door for who-knows-how-long in their efforts to come and help as well! (Ack, that was an embarrassing oversight.)

Gorgeous! I've recently discovered that doing the floors yourself may be back-breaking, but it is certainly rewarding.

They look great! Good job!!! (I love the paint too!) You might have to give me a lesson in using a buffer down the road.
