We've got our kitchen back, more or less. The varnish is supposed to cure for a long while before you can really treat it like a floor, but at least we're not all crowded into the living room. This project has been a good learning experience, I would have liked to done things differently, but eventually we'll redo the kitchen entirely on a, shall we say, more professional level.
Now that the lower floors are getting squared away, we can focus on getting some stuff done upstairs. This weekend we'll be refinishing the top floor. Looks like we'll paint the remaining floors for the time being, anything that's not an actual wood floor is covered with this atrocious linoleum tile. I've seen good uses of this stuff, but this looks like somebody dropped a hospital floor into the middle of a house. A disreputable hospital.
I got several power tools over the holidays, they're all piled up around the house, forcing me to run up and down many flights of stairs to complete even the simplest job. I need better organization; in short, I need some pegboard! God I should panel the house in pegboard. It's so very handy.
Wow! This really looks great.
