Floors Done

 Finally did all of the sanding and finishing of the floors.  This is a huge step as it allows me to finally finish everything else upstairs.

Here it is fully sanded and waiting for sealer



Applying the sealer.  I'm using Loba Invisible Protect 2k.  2 coats as recommended


2nd coat


You can really see a big difference between how the wood reacted after the first coat.  It looked as if a significant tint was going to be imparted to the wood.  But after it dried, that went away.  The 2nd coat shows less affect, showing that it's sitting on top of the first coat.

Final result



The Loba turned out great, only adding a very slight tint to the flooring.  I was surprised at how much the grain raised after the first coat.  But as the instructions required, I buffed with a 200 grit screen between coats.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Accent Wall

Been meaning to add some color to the main living area for a while.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
