more sanding and staining

Today the painter finished the eating and drinking porches and was working on the driveway facade when we visited. You can see the new stain on the first floor level. The shutters are closed, and have not yet received the new stain. Also the entire end of the house is still "the way it was." We can't wait to see the new addition when it has been stained.

 The rest of the photos are of the newly sanded floors. Can you believe how light they are? This is the master bedroom.

 This is in the living room, next to the fireplace.

 This shows the old wood floors in the living room, and the new wood that has been installed in the kitchen. A light color stain will be applied in the kitchen to try to bring it closer to the original floors. The original floors will not be stained; they will just be treated with 3 layers of polyurethane. The sanding is to be finished Saturday (we hope) and the new treating of the floors to begin Sunday afternoon.
