(Not a post about frizzy hair, I promise.)
So, we cleared out of the Decatur Project for four days to let Lee Bailey and crew work their voodoo on the rest of the downstairs. The plan was to strip up the carpet/do the other requisite demo, sand, stain and apply first coat of poly on Thursday, followed by one coat of poly Friday and one coat of poly on Saturday, leaving at least 24 hours before we came home to let things dry. Well, it is August and they don’t call it Hotlanta for nothing, friends. 90+ temps and rain = bad drying conditions for newly refinished hardwoods. Which means they didn’t dry according to plan and were still wet when we returned home yesterday. So, there is still a sofa in our kitchen and we used all of our spidey-skills to jump from the kitchen to the hallway leading to the bedrooms (those floors were done three months ago), over the wet hallway. We have grown accustomed to such chaos. We still aren’t used to this kind of gorgeousness:
Sorry for the bad blackberry pics. Who even knows where the real camera is…I tell you. Chaos.
They look GREAT! But hey, don’t knock the rain
. Its always good to hone the spidey skills.
