    The floor looks fantastic! I'm a huge fan of the satin poly

    Awesome job!

    I came up with a used basketball floor once, but they did not throw in a bulldozer to seal the deal!

    Ok now here’s the new trouble.....:loco: :crazy::picard:
    The kitchen!
    The wall behind the sink had brick veneer all over it so easiest thing was to tear out the drywall. C3E44DC3-EA36-437C-89C5-0E249C0B7E61.jpeg
    New drywall and cabinets all removed. FFF30ECF-E6FF-46C4-BCA7-4EFC3C508DD0.jpeg
    8475B381-F6C5-468C-AFB8-CE896D32C7C3.jpeg
    Fresh paint all new plugs, switches, lights and of course more hardwood. Getting ready to fire up the sander this morning. A103CA6E-55C8-4592-B55A-79D35AA60B64.jpeg

    Looks great, the only tip I would mention and it’s too late for you. When sheet rocking, and doing kitchen lay a full sheet between the top of the Base Cabinets and the uppers. That way you have no tape scene where all the outlets and top of the counter is. An old timer showed me that trick

    Wish I’d have thought of that!! That darn seam ran right across all the 5 boxes smack dab down the space where there’s no cabinets. I’m thinking some stone tile is going to be going in there though.

    Or maybe some of your leftover flooring? That would make for an interesting look.

    why it’s a great trick.. taping and feathering around boxes suck.. also lower and upper seams behind cabinets.. still tape them but less of perfectionist
