We're Floored

What was supposed to take 5 days ended up taking two weeks. The lousy weather and lack of heat really hindered the curing process and it wasn't until we added heat that we were able to make a bit of progress in this regard. Actually, we had nothing to do with it, but are happy to report that the floors are finally completed. No pictures of the completed floor yet, but stay tuned. This was the during.

The look we are hoping for is worn leather and it's heading that way.

We tried to add electric heat, but the dinky little electric heaters we had were not up to the task and blew the breaker. So we rented a larger unit. Can't rent a propane model as none of us were trained in it`s use. Apparently, someone on site has to have a propane certificate so we rented a kerosene model. Basically a rocket engine sitting on a tank of gas, but supposedly safer. We fired it up outside and stuffed the hose in the bathroom window and secured the other end of the hose to a framed door opening. But it was very effective and raised the temperature from 7 to 14 degrees in an hour. We are going to keep this thing around for a little while so that Andre can prime the new drywall.
