I did manage to apply four coats of Woodoc varnish to the kitchen floor. The kitchen units are in place now, although not leveled out yet. Making such good progress on the floor, we discussed it and decided there is nothing to prevent us to finish the living room and dining room floors. The original idea was first to complete all building work before we start doing the floors. So I started sanding again, with the little orbital sander. I made good progress on the living room floor, about a third of the total, and felt quite good about it, until the sander packed up. It is not really intended for such heavy duty work. Well, I was forced to go and buy a new one. We also had a problem deciding how we can move between the old kitchen and our bedroom, passing through the dining room when the floors are wet. Petrus suggested why don't I seal a few boards to one side of the dining room. So the priority changed once again, I started sanding the first four boards of the dining room. The end result is that I have got a lot of work ahead of me. I have ordered some more Woodoc and hope it will be delivered in time for sealing the floor when the sanding is done.
I had the welcome help of Petrus in doing the kitchen Cabinet doors. We have made good progress on cutting and edging the doors, but we still need to trim most of them. Then the big task of fitting the hinges in exactly the right positions will follow. Thanks to Petrus who is very meticulous, I have all confidence that it will work out fine.
