Mikey Didn't Like It Either, Part 2

Two days ago I was upset when I saw scratches on our bedroom floor. They weren't there before the plumber carried the box that contained a toilet to our 3rd floor bathroom. But there they were - four scratches down to bare wood. My Sweetie thought it looked as if the plumber had slid the box when he reached the top of the stairs. Maybe there was a staple sticking out.

I suppose it was especially upsetting because my Sweetie and I had spent a month in 2008 sanding and scraping the old finish off, cleaning out the spaces between the boards, and applying three coats of polyurethane.

The whole floor looked like the edges when we ripped up the wall-to-wall carpeting. It took lots of sanding and hand scraping to remove all the old adhesive.

But it was all worth it when we were finished.

The after photo

As soon as Mike saw the scratches, he said that they would be fixed.
