I love the old patina that I'd lose with too much work.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-44547562465601150112010-02-03T10:52:56.061-05:002010-02-03T10:52:56.061-05:00I wanted to drop back on some advice I gave you ab...I wanted to drop back on some advice I gave you about the paste wax on the wood floors. That process works great on furniture, polished wax surface, but it is too dangerous on floors. I had to go back and remove the wax, even though it looked great, by sanding lightly to take it off. We didn't fall but we could have. Our dogs were acting like Bambi on the ice. I still believe in it on furniture though as it give you that professional final finish.L.

It seems everyone likes them too. I'm very much at home in the house these days even with construction still going on. I'm just waiting for the days when I can refinish the floors and be done with the downstairs. I haven't even mentioned the plans for the attic space yet. :)Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-36262399207469924652010-02-02T19:47:58.147-05:002010-02-02T19:47:58.147-05:00You should feel so great about all your hard work,...You should feel so great about all your hard work,very nice and peaceful.The green in the kitchen is perfect!Brian David Morleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683936302804455378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-34080987411576024882010-02-02T19:18:14.447-05:002010-02-02T19:18:14.447-05:00It is all so impressive.

Your house looks great all over, but I know you have brought it a long way from when you first begun. Really nice!!!L.

I'm looking forward to cleaning the house from front door to the back door.
