But it is not noticeable unless you get down and really look at it. And who looks down all the time?- only really sad people. And you won't have anything to be blue about when you finish your kitchen. :)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570623978361702328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1123096964144186292005-08-03T12:22:00.000-07:002005-08-03T12:22:00.000-07:00My aunt has hardwood floors in her house.

One of the first things to happen was the bolt/screw coming out and gouging the floor. Makes me wonder how common this problem is.Ms. P in Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044745952111340330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1123090874771642432005-08-03T10:41:00.000-07:002005-08-03T10:41:00.000-07:00The floor looks great, you won't notice all the im...The floor looks great, you won't notice all the imperfections once everything is in. I thought they made a edger that was a big heavy belt sander? We're looking to do our floors soon, don't know when we'll have the time though.

When I posted about disappointments with my <A HREF="http://time-thief.blogspot.com/2005/07/naked-wood.html" REL="nofollow">finished floor</A>, someone responded with "they're just floors". She was right. It's been a couple of weeks and I still shake my head at the imperfections, but I'm getting over it. <BR/><BR/>I think part of the problem comes from the fact that when you "become" work on your house -- that's all you do and all you are -- you set an even higher standard for yourself because of what others might think of the results of your commitment.SmilingJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877138249330155883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1123045541411878072005-08-02T22:05:00.000-07:002005-08-02T22:05:00.000-07:00Hi Suzanne,Restore & Preserve is very local.

I have the same sort of problems with my house history as you do -- I know the history of the house, and I just learned who the craftsman was, but I STILL don't have the architect. It drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the reason your sidebar on your blog is off-kilter is because you have an icon stuck in there that is too big for the column. Start moving those icons to the footer rather than the sidebar and your problem will be solved.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576242732542242561noreply@blogger.com
