One of the last parts of the job is sanding and refinishing the 100+ yr old wood floors on the parlor floor. While I&#8217;ve never done this before, I&#8217;ve done most everything else in the house myself (with help from friends and family, and contractors) and think I can probably handle it. Also, I had a bad experience with a hack who did some other floor sanding for me. So, I have the following concerns\/questions, and would love some input-<\/p>\n<p>1. Best place to rent a sander and edger?<br \/>\n2. Is there lead or other harmful things in old wood floors?<br \/>\n3. I&#8217;ve seen ads for hepa sander dustbag attachments &#8211; any info?<br \/>\n4. Should I paint the walls\/ceiling before or after sanding\/refinishing?<br \/>\n5. I have a pretty good solution for filling in the gaps between the planks (paintable clear caulk before the last coat of poly) &#8211; but wondering if anyone else has bothered with this?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been renovating my Carroll Gdns brownstone for about 4 years now and I&#8217;m almost done.
