    House repaired, mold remediated, freshly painted walls and now floors redone! It's a new house! So happy the original floors were in good enough shape you COULD save them. That's a testament to the previous owners right there. Can't wait to see the house furnished and decorated, it will be a cozy little dollhouse! Many kudos to you and Barry for the beautiful finishing!

    This is what makes the world go round. I can’t stand oak and Elizabeth loves it. Truly Gods gift that we all have our likes and dislikes. You two will enjoy every second you walk around and look at that floor. For me it’s pine or alder. I truly loved looking at my floors. People underestimate what a beautiful floor can make the foundation of your decorating. BILL please take care of that knee. You need to enjoy what time is left. God bless you both.

    When we moved to Western Maryland in 1948 (on my first bday) the house had been used for years as a hunting lodge. The floors were pine and in horrible condition - men and muddy boots had done a number on them. My very first memory in life was being in a high chair and looking over my shoulder at Bud Lesher sanding and redoing the floors. Hadn't thought of that in decades so thanks for this vlog, it brought back my first memory.

    As always, so impressive what you and Barry can do. Outstanding job; as usual. The floors look beautiful. You have already, perked up this home significantly. Thanks Barry for supporting your Mom and Dad the way you do. You are a wonderful son. Oh, and your wife and kids are right there with you helping (maybe not on this trip; but, we have seen their outstanding work as well). What a lovely family.

    When the house is empty is certainly the time. It's a lot of work, but they are lovely. I did 3 big rooms in my 30s so I know how much work it is. That was 40 years ago and they still look great! They were 100 years old when I did them.

      @sjr7822 Před rokem

      I've done a few myself, didn't have the proper equipment like shown in this video. We had an old farmhouse with floors of wide boards from virgin fir that was on the property, so I agree with the couple about 'character' being a plus.

    I had been in construction most all my life but since moving to another state I got into a different line of work and secured a job in a cabinet shop. It's a big company that does work for places all over the country. I worked on building cabinets for a while and they put me in the chair department for awhile and I liked that better so I asked them if I could stay in that department and they did that for me. I enjoyed that more actually. We built chairs and cabinets for a lot of the big companies such as Applebee's and other places. I resigned from there about a week or so ago since I had started my own company driving for rideshare companies. I bought a small luxury sedan so my customers would be comfortable and I enjoy it thoroughly.

    This is timely! I ripped out my over-30-year-old carpet to discover beautiful oak floors, in the same condition as your original. I'm dreading moving myself and the furniture out for the refinishing. You clued me in to expect 3 or 4 days.

    The floors look so beautiful. I was actually wondering about three coats of poly when you first mentioned it. I was thinking two should do it. Glad you settled on just two. I know it was a huge undertaking with sanding the floors, looks like you and your son knew exactly what type of sander to use. My now deceased husband was a carpenter of new and renovation projects, so I have seen a lot and been involved alot with various projects. This was a great job !! Elizabeth, I know you love your newly renovated home. Happy for you !
