We finally got around to something I have been waiting for for a very long time - sealing the downstairs floors.
Because the sealant is so stinky, it is not something we could just do, as the house must be left open for a while. We'd wanted to do it at the beginning of the year, but we had visitors, then other stuff came up, then the rains started, etc. This was the last chance we had to get it done before it gets cold.
This was something I did not participate in, as we were worried that it might be something that would affect the baby. Abe and a friend did a great job and it went a lot faster than we had thought.
We have left the house open and alone, while we take a mini vacation, much deserved we feel.
We have now done all the major projects we had wanted to get finished before winter, and when we return home I will be able to sweep and mop the whole house - just in time for the pregnancy nesting phases. Poor Abe.

ReplyDeleteI'm curious if you are finding any problem with pitting and gouging on the CEB floors?
