It has taken one hell of a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, tears and swearing, but the kitchen floors are finally done!
Let me remind you what it was like when I first pulled up the floating floor.
Covered in glue, there was a lot of painstaking spreading paint stripper and scraping hard. Over and over again.
Halfway done, a lot more to go, I thought it would never end!
Sanding, sanding, sanding.
Finally it was time to apply the varnish! I toddled off to Bunnings and tried hard to match the colour of the floor in the living room from photos.
So far, so good. I was quite happy at this stage, even though the colour was slightly more orange than I wanted it was close.
However. It needed two coats, so once the first coat was dry, I started all over again.
Once the second coat went on, it was very orange. It doesn’t look so orange in photos, but in real life it’s not my ideal colour.
But. It’s done! And it will be fine until such time as I can afford to get professionals in to do the whole house properly!
