Floors

10-24-13

And yet another injury.

I managed to smack my left hand into the cutting board a couple of days ago. It hurt all that night, but got better the next day. I could feel it was bruised, but I apparently did not aggravate it in any of my day to day activities. Yesterday morning, however, I noted it was really sore. As the day progressed, I could feel just how much I had tweaked it. I couldn’t do certain movements with my hand without dropping whatever I was holding and shrieking out in pain. Not pleasant.

Holy crap, Steve’s floors look AMAZING! I saw them pre-gloss, and a picture of them with the goo, and my god, they are just simply stunning now. I can’t wait to see it when it is all done. I am so glad we didn’t carpet the whole house!

We won’t be able to walk on the floors until Monday. I guess they do coats 2 and 3 today, and a final coat on Friday. We didn’t do any stain, so we opted for 4 coats of the polyurethane since as the floor guys pointed out, dog claws will scratch the hell out of floor and the lighter the color, the easier it is to touch up those scratches. Lycos has been dubbed clickity for a reason, so the 4 coats make sense.

It does mean that we won’t be able to do much at Steve over the next few days. Sure, we can paint some trim in the family room, but ultimately not a whole lot of things can be done.

This does mean that perhaps the idea of tearing up the driveway at Eydie this weekend is a good one. I also would like to pack some more and get ready to do the inevitable move. Maybe some more garage work, too.

Tonight takes me to the school for a meeting on some Title 1 stuff. I don’t know what is being covered, so hopefully it isn’t too boring. I really have no patience for boring right now since when I am bored I think about the things I need to be working on.
