refinishing floors
I have really old hardwood flooring that has seen better days.. They
were just stained and waxed.. many years ago.. There is no way in hell I can afford to professionally have them re-done, so I am going to try it myself.. If I fail, I'll just carpet it.. I am afraid of using a drum sander.. can a belt sander be used, albeit with more wear and tear on your knees? I am going to attempt the small hallway first. A drum sander won't fit in there. What would be best? a drum sander or orbital sander? what grits of sandpaper do I use? for staining and sealing, a few coats of each, right? I am starting small (the hall way).. what the hell to do it myself.. It can't look any worse than it does now, I say.. |
