big re-fin job

[mayfly]

Hey folks,

I'm currently neck deep in the biggest re-fin job I've ever done - my floors!

The floors are white oak with an oil finish (woca diamond oil) applied 5 years ago.  We figured they could use a touchup in the high-traffic areas (kitchen etc).  Here's the process:

1 - vacuum the surface
2 - wash the surface with some special soap
3 - apply the oil
4 - burnish / polish the oil in
5 - wipe up excess

Here's a before / after shot (before in the foreground).  I'm quite pleased!  :headbang:

But now the wife wants to do the entire house    :doh:

Nice job. I have to hand it to you. Floor work is no fun.

That is a job. Better to do a bit at a time as it can be heavy going.

Nice floors, and a nice job too!

(Now delete this damned post before my wife sees it and starts getting ideas!)
