Look ma, no black gunk!

Remember this picture of the linoleum backing and adhesive that was left after we removed the linoleum?



We tried steam, chemicals, heat and hard labor. Finally, I rented a floor sander and 20 grit sandpaper. It was hard work but the results were better than the other methods.



Now we can stain and seal the floor.

I agree with Celeste that is so pretty! How could anyone have ever wanted to cover that with linoleum(I know I can't spell)

I love old floors, it's one of the reasons we bought our house. You've done a great job at cleaning that stuff up!
