Finally the landlord has brought in a professional floor person.
It's a one man crew, but I'm sure he'll be going faster than the other two cuz he's brought his tools (all the right ones for laying floorboards) and the proper saw for cutting and making adjustments.
He was here at 8:15am and I had already showered and dressed and answered the door with a frothy mouth and the handle of my toothbrush sticking out. I motioned for him to wait one minute and woke up the Hubby. He was still lounging in bed. I had already woken the kids at 7:30am and had Connor dressed and changed. Glen needs a bit longer to wake up so I got him dressed about 20 after 8. Hubby was shocked and probably annoyed the guy was here so soon. But to hell with that!
The pro checked out the floor and then stepped outside. I went to check on him and he was doing stretches in the parking lot outside. I thought it was funny at first and then realized, hey, this is back and knee breaking stuff, what the hell am I laughing at.
Moments later the building manager arrived to talk to the guy and get the supplies needed out of the adjacent garage that the apartment manager uses for storage of older friggs, cement bags, salt bags, basic supplies for the complex.
It's 8:30am and the pro is already banging away on the boards. He's a little louder, but he's using the right tools so it's gonna be.
Supposedly he's going to get done today with laying the boards. There was talk about the stain, varnish, and sealant being done either tomorrow or Saturday. Either way.. I just need some notice so we can leave overnight for the stuff to harden enough to walk on. They are going to forgo the sanding part of it cuz the apartment is occupied with people and furniture. The building manager is not concerned, and neither are we, cuz the sanding might help the varnish and sealant adhearing better, but when someone vacats an apartment here, they resand the floors and restain them and everything anyways. So when we move, this is something they intend to do anyways.
So the pro is just going to varnish and seal the floors. We have yet to find out when and how long we need to be out for it to be dried.
Should be another interesting day.
Thank God I was dressed when this guy got here, wouldn't that be something.
