We did it! We stayed on schedule and got all of the floors sanded, vacuumed, washed with white spirit, and oiled. We didn't finish until after 11:30 pm, though. Reminds me of our graduate student days when we'd renovate until 10 pm, 11 pm, sometimes even midnight if we had a pressing deadline.
Once the oil was applied, the floors became darker than I would like...but it's too late to change! They are still beautiful.
I also put a double layer of bubble wrap on all of the windows and installed safety bars so that my parents don't fall out. The real windows arrive in about 4 weeks. Inga helped me with the staple gun.
We both took a bit of time off to bring kids to the park after school. And we watched an episode of The Flash together during dinner.
Still, I don't want to do too many of these super long days. 9-5 is enough!
