My Waterlox Arrived

January 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

My new year’s resolution is to get my floors refinished.  I had a 5-month delay because of my knee injury.  It is still going to be extremely hard to get down on my knees to work on the floor.  But to push me along I ordered 6 gallons of Waterlox that has arrived and that I will be using for my oak floors.  I plan on doing a small section at a time because I don’t want to block the whole room off.  I’ll rope off a small section that we can step over.  Keeping the cats away is going to be the biggest problem.  It will probably take until late spring to finish if I start now.  Slowly but surely.  The doctor said to be kind to my knees so I’ll take his advice.   Waterlox is so easy to work with, I don’t think I’ll have any problems with doing it in sections.  It levels really good and I’ll just stop the section in line with the boards.  (The reason I’m not renting a sander is because the floor isn’t flat-level yet.  I need to brace a few cracked sub-floor boards from underneath that are letting some of the oak boards sag a bit.  That’s on a later list of “things to do.”)

    That’s going to be such a job, but when it’s done, it’s going to look incredible. I love your house!
