the floors, refinished

The floors look great; you can't see where new wood was feathered in unless you're really looking for it. The refinishers left a couple bent metal thresholds at the doors for the kitchen and laundry room, but we expect we can get them to repair those.

Here are some before and after photos:

Repair update:
- gas is back on (PG&E guy arrived at 10am)...he was coincidentally the repairman sent out when the owners were packing up their stuff from the garage and realized they were sitting on a ticking time bomb of gas leaks. He disconnected and plugged the lines. PG&E later sent out another repairman with the necessary tools to perform the full repairs.

repair: fumigation starts today, floors scheduled to start 10 January

Fumigation:
Starts today with Preferred Termite Services.

Tenting notes:

  • the fumigators turn off the gas before they tent; we will have to remember to turn it back on.
  • you must remove all food and certain items that retain the poison before tenting (which is why fumigation is way easier to do when you don't live in the place yet)

Floors will be done by:
Elegant Floors of Mountain View (recommendation from husband's coworker), starting 10 January, last coat to go down 13 January.
