Gratuitous Photo and Playing the Floor Sander Lottery

The photo is a view of our main hall after my wife hauled all the trash out of it again. It's a lot easier to maintain your motivation when you can see the floor.

On my way home from work tonight, I 'm going to stop by Lowe's in Conway to see if they have a floor sander for rent. They only have one, and it is available on a first come, first serve basis. You can't reserve it, we tried.

If they do have it, I hope it'll fit in my 1996 Saturn. Think I can make it work if I lay the back seat down and move the mountain of junk I haul around into the front seat. I hate being a packrat at times like these.

Ideally, I'd sand the kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, and both additions. If I actually can manage that is an entirely different question. The master bathroom must be finished so we can move in the clawfoot tub. I think I can handle that. I've never sanded a floor so it should be interesting. I hope I don't break anything including myself.

I'm not sure what will be finished this weekend. My wife has already informed me that she won't be working on the Queen this weekend. She has to work Saturday, so she's taking Sunday. I'll probably work on the Queen Monday since I'm off for M.L.K. Day. As for Sunday, who knows?
