We've spent the last week trying to get ready to have our hardwood floors refinished. They should have been redone about 7 years ago, but hey, better late than never.
It's been quite the ordeal, and one thing I can say about the whole process is that I'm sure glad we're not moving. We dismantled two bookcases and moved all the books, the piano, and the long couch to the boys' room and put the rest in our room or downstairs. It's strangely liberating to see the upstairs so empty, not to mention how much it echos with nothing in it. But it sure was a lot of work.
I love how our house has an open flowing floor plan, and I really like the wood floors, but it makes quite the ordeal to get them refinished. I thought about doing it myself, but it seemed so overwhelming and I didn't think I wanted to have everything torn up for months, so we wisely turned to the professionals.
So Sunday night we left our empty house and moved into Casa de los Abuelitos to escape the construction zone. Melinda is trying hard to keep our schedule as normal as possible, so that the kids don't think we're just having one big party at Grandpa's house. Well, maybe just a little party.

I'm looking forward to seeing what your wood floors look like after the refinishing. We need to have our wood floors refinished but who know when that will ever happen. When we saw Scott at the library he mentioned that we should see Brian and Dejah's (and others!) work on the apartment.
