'Don't do it' they said, 'You'll regret it' they said. Ha say I, we did do it and it looks fab! Despite the odd blister and ruptured hamstring, the whole sanding business went off really well. Muchos gracias to Mr.Cree who gave of his valuable sabbatical time to drive the lean mean green machine while I made like a sumo and attacked the edges. The whole thing took us about four hours, and we even managed to get in a first layer of varnish before the sun went down. I applied a second coat the next day with a brush (the flat mop business looks like it should be easier, but those mops don't really take to varnish that well) and am altogether happy with the result. Oh yes, and the bathroom is also finished, and I think the glass tiles in the shower look really sweet. The support bracket for the missing chimney breast is meant to be going in today, so hopefully the whole place won't fall down now, just as it's all coming together. The mellow moca on the hallway walls looks er, mellow, and now there's really just the utility room and plastering the kitchen to do. That said, both of these things seem to be exhausting the Bulgars, as they appear to be avoiding them. Don't stumble at the last hurdle men, the flag is in site etc.

Frank,
Semi finished floor looks quality!
Really is a very satisfying job, once you've tamed the wild beast AKA sanding machine.
Looking forward to seeing it for real in a few weeks :)
Jolly good. Er, that's finished by the way! complete with two coats of varnish, any more and my hand will fall off.
