We started over on the floor. I didn't make pictures of when we first started sanding and stripping. We finished stripping it last night. We were both so stoned we couldn't walk straight (I hope that won't make a drug test show up positive, because I have to take one for school). I decided that the varnish remover smells like the gas used to put people to sleep when they have surgery. We both passed out when we went to bed. This morning Doug finished sanding (except what we have to sand by hand). Too bad we can't leave the floors raw wood. I think they look prettier that way. The varnish makes it look darker. Here's some pics I've made so far:
While we were still sanding the last time(notice the difference in the color of the 2 rooms):
Doug taking a well deserved break:
More sanding:

This job has been one big pain in the butt! I never want to do it again, but we'll have to due to the difference in the floors of the living room and computer room. HOPEFULLY we'll do better in the computer room and it won't take so long. We still have almost a week before the living room is done. My house is a DISASTER! I don't think I'll ever get it clean again.
