Hi. We’re Kevin and Layla- but this week, you can call us Dusty and Sandy.
We rented a big, powerful toy to sand back our hardwood floor with, and so far, Operation: Shop-vac has been the best part. Here’s a little video footage of our first, dusty day…

Next up, the edge sander…
…and some kind of spa treatment for two.
To be continued…

You are so funny! We are doing the same thing to our stairs. So much dust!!! ugh.
Did you say you were leaving it natural and just sealing it?
Or will you stain it again?
Just curious.

We are going to leave it natural and just seal it. Hoping it turns out good!

You two make the very best team! I am trying to get my husband to have the same passion for helping his wife with home projects as yours. I keep showing him your posts with your husband hard at work to inspire him…ha ha!

Your walls look just like mine! My house is about 80 years old and we loved the old wood so just painted it. We too are going to refinish our hardwood floor soon. So thanks for any tips!

How long have you been blogging – and you still come up with the cutest, darndest things to say! Can’t wait to see the final product…..

How much do floor sander rentals cost? I have hard wood floors throughout my entire home that we did entirely by hand sander. It’s about time to do them again & dread the thought of it taking so long…again.
Thanks in advance for the info. 🙂

So very inspiring! I am so excited to see the next post! It’s such a drastic difference already to take that old stain off. Giddy for you!

How exciting! This is our very next project on our old house! I’m so looking forward to seeing those floors shine! Our floors are so old that I honestly don’t know what to expect once I get the grime off of them.
Kevin
I was nervous to see what ours looked like too. Such a relief when I saw the wood was in pretty good condition.

Can’t wait to see it done! I keep telling my computer geek husband that “Kevin did it and he didn’t know how before he started”! I showed him your nail gun video, he might try it now. Thanks!
