well you did all advise he get someone else in to do it

With the edge sander be extremely careful around radiator tails. It'll slice through them like butter and fuck up all your hard work with water stains

When you ‘went to work’ were you actually in the pub?

Fortunately the lips of the circular sanders extend a bit more than the sander itself.

Also, fuck me.

Great job Ed!

Nice. Nothing like bringing a bit of wood back to life.

nice

now underlay and office grade laminate on top of that

Ideally laminate needs a very level floor, so looks perfect.

For the last time Amey, I’m not going to use your flat as a reference, this isn’t Grand Design.

then show us your moodboard

I actually have to Google that, Christ Amey.

You've been @amey 'd. :)

Also, fuck me.

Told you :)

What are you going to put on it? General consensus these days is lacquer > varnish so I'd suggest something like Bona Mega if you've not decided.

We have Bona Mega (matt) on our newly sanded floors and it's good.
But we got it done professionally as we sanded floors once ourselves and swore we'd never do it again...!

Floor looks great Ed

We got Osmo clear Matt to put on, not too keen on shiny floor.

@nankatsu We have Bona Mega (matt) on our newly sanded floors and it's good.

Bona stuff are good, there’s a place called Floor Sander Rental not too far from us whom were excellent not only about hiring but helping us understand how to work it and what to look out for, had we not know, it would make the jobs way harder.

The Osmo clear matte is great

How'd you find the edge Sander? That thing was such a bastard.
