Floors refinished!

Last we left you, we were anxiously awaiting the refinishing of our awful floors. The second floor was refinished first. This floor is where we have our kitchen, living room and dining room, and the most wide open space. The floors look much better, although given the state they were in before, that wasn't too difficult (to come: before and after pics). The surface is mostly one colour — a fairly dark brown — but the holes in the DaroTopp cement flooring are still very visible in places. There are also strange swirly marks in the floor in the kitchen. Not swirly-stylish, but swirly-whoops-I-made-a-mistake-ish. Still, it is markedly better, and we were extremely relieved to finally have it done, a month after we moved in. Once the second floor was refinished, we needed to clear the first floor to have it redone. We moved all of our furniture from the first floor up to the second floor, and all of the boxes from the first floor down to the basement. Who needs a gym membership when you can just carry furniture up and down stairs every night? Thanks, flooring company! We're in great shape!

The first floor was refinished later than planned (no warning, no phone call), and at the last possible minute. It too looks a lot better than it did, although there are some shiny patches were the matte finish wasn't applied, and the holes in the DaroTopp are still visible. But, we're thrilled that our business with the flooring company is now over, and we can finally start moving things into the rooms where they're supposed to go.
