miekecGroan. Ow. Unh.
That's me, trying to move right now. We just spent all day sanding. And sanding some more. With a break to get a flu shot (more ouch - I _hate_ needles!). Oh yeah, and hunt all over the place to find more evil sandpaper, because the 3 pieces of 24-grit we got for the hand-sander (or rather, 2-hand sander, since the sucker is too heavy to operate with just one hand. In fact, it purposefully has 2 handles...) didn't last me more than oh, 1/5 of the room. The good part is that I found even more evil 16-grit monster-grating stuff. Mwahahaha! That did the trick. Finally. After burning through 6 of them, the worst of the orange-and-black chemical gunk was of the floor. Can't believe this was even worse than the previous room!
Anyway, it looks much, Much better now. Not anywhere near done, and definitely not with the first coat of poly on it that we'd wanted done by 6 today :( In fact, we had to stop sanding at 7pm or so, because we were making so much noise, we actually had to pay some attention to noise-curbing regulations. Grmbl. We wanted to just keep going until it was *done*. OTOH, my body is thankful for the break.
And - this time we remembered to take the "before" pictures. I'll post them tomorrow.
Now, sleep.
