A mixture of old timber floor and new, being given a savage sand to remove decades of old polish and scratches this is a comparison at the top between brand new timber compared to old polish in the centre and right with the bottom left showing how the old floor is coming up
Like brand new. We have all worked so hard to get it to this stage, my family arrives tomorrow. There is much to be done furniture repositioned, lawns to mow, presents to wrap, removing of a fine film of construction dust from every visible surface throughout the entire house and Christmas cooking to prepare. The builder boys are finished we have a farewell feast for all of them today .
Roast pork with all the trimmings a double sized loaf of Banana Bread. Mostly prepared in the outdoor roaster BBQ because I was afraid the sawdust would infiltrate the cooking zone. Just a few finishing touches and we are ready for Christmas plastering, painting and fixing out to follow in the new year but it will be watertite, insulated and smells of fresh timber and paint. My 3 favourite natural fragrances are fresh timber, fresh mowed grass and freshly laundered laundry. Tomorrow I will smell all three. I am ecstatic with the building progress and am really looking forward to cleaning the dust and stickers off the new windows and sitting down to Christmas Dinner with family that I love in comfort and space. Santa couldn't make me any happier!
The Sander Boy working very hard at trying desperately not to drop his sweat on the newly finished timber.
My delightful new floor with it first coat of finishing applied. We have settled for a satin finish. Not long now.
