Ooh… please post a link if you get a moment, thanks!
On the entire first floor we had to strip about 5-6 layers of old linoleum. In some rooms, nice old wood floors revealed themselves, and in other areas (like the bedroom above) we just stripped it down to the original wide plank baseboards. Then, we just had the wood floor sanded, patched, primed and painted a few layers of high gloss white floor paint. I think it looks great too!
Re: your ugly tile floor – our kitchen has this – and I’ve been reading about epoxy and latex floor coverings that you can just pour on…
Another question… that floor looks really cool. What shade/finish/type of wood is it…? I’ve got a lower level with an ugly tile floor that I kind of despise, looking for a lighter shade to work with…
My partner was nervous about me posting even these photos of the interior of our house. I’m sorry to say this is all for now! My handy man, Jackson, worked over a few months on the whole house – it was a mess! He is fairly quick, but more importantly, he is reliable, he showed up every day on time and didn’t take on any more jobs till he had finished mine.
Can you post more photos? Also, how many hours did the work take– is he reliably quick? (Paying by the hour, vs the project, would concern me, but that’s good-looking work.)
