I peeked in this morning at our floor progress, and snapped a few quick shots. They have completed the sanding/filling process, which took a bit longer than expected, and by this morning had stained and gotten the first coat of polyurethane down. They should have the second coat applied today, and the third and final coat down tomorrow, so progress is still fast despite the initial delay.
The finish appears shiny in the pictures only because it was still tacky when I visited this morning. The end result should be a nice satin finish, that glows more than it shines. They did a great job of filling old cracks and sanding out old scratches, and I'm amazed at how new the old floors look, even next to the new ones that were just laid last month.
In the process of refinishing, they put our fridge in its new home (which I'm so obsessed with - it's so nice to have that huge machine tucked away) and put in our inset floor vents, which fit right into their oak surroundings.
So that's more or less it for progress this week - just polyurethane and more polyurethane to go - but then we should be back to having a living room/dining room/office next week, and we've been promised fast progress over the next two weeks until it's all done.
