Once the painting was done, we had a few days to organize, pick up, and begin to refinish the baseboard. When Don began to take the baseboard off, he discovered that it was solid walnut. One does not dispose of solid walnut, so rather than find new baseboard, we decided to sand them to remove any finish and then put tung oil on them. Once we got all of the boards off and all of the nails out of the floor, I began to sand and refinish while Don worked on numerous other projects.

On December 19, the flooring crew showed up - all 6 of them. And man, did they get to work! By the end of the first day, they had completed most of the main room - which is very large - and by Saturday, which was only 6 days later, they were done with both the LVP and the ceramic tile. Don had put heat tape under the ceramic tile, so he spent a lot of time doing that, and between my walks to the cabin and back, sanding, finishing, and cleaning, we were pretty tired by the end of every day. But by October 26, the floor was in and the rooms were painted - and we were happy campers!
