2nd coat of Polyurethane dried. Hand sanded all the floors and wiped down with mineral spirits. Applied 3rd and final coat of Polyurethane! Wood floor restoration DONE! Very hard work but worth every minute. They turned out SO much better than expected. Being our first Wood floor restoration I was very worried. But I think we done did good!

Congrats! Nothing better then getting a project finished.

Mike was trying to kill me yesterday hauling sheet rock from the truck and up those go to hell steps. Then the 2 of us trying to get it positioned on the ceiling and screwed down.

So here are a few pics of what we did get done.

This is the chimney in the center of the house.



This is the chimney coming up the stairs



This is the new view coming up the stairs.



Mike built his and hers closets.
They look like an out house! LOL. We were going for rustic.


And we still have a big mess!

We did have a new unexpected tool purchase this weekend.
Home Depo had a Ridgid router set that retails for $200 on sale for $130.

Looks great, Granny. What are your goals for that room?

[Granny]

Obvious storage is one of our main goals.

When it’s completed I plan on having a bed in the smaller area for when guest or the Grandsons come to visit.
They go inspect it every time they come over to see how much work pawpaw has done. lol
On the larger side I want to have a sitting area with a futon for extra sleeping arrangements with a TV
plus a work space Mike can work on his models and I can do sewing, crafts, etc.

It originally had walls on both sides of the steps separating the 2 areas.
We removed them to give it an open loft feel.

Attic is HUGE. Peak is 14'. It's 1800 sq ft. So We are going to build 2 rooms and a 1/2 bath up there and use the lower ceiling areas for massive storage. First we need some proper stairs. So here we go:
