Floor and painting

It was a long weekend. The contractor took the opportunity to complete the floor and let it cure through the long weekend

The floor is sealed using this product

Did not manage to get the picture of the polish. This is the final layer - gloss

Came back 2 days later and here's the result:

Just what we wanted. Mid gloss with natural timber colour

Paintwork preparation by the contractor. I wanted to do this as my DIY project earlier and I am now grateful I've not taken the DIY path. Definitely a lot of prep work

Scraping off old excess paint before painting a new coat

The house being old, has many cracks and gaps to fill before being painted

Since our lease will be expiring next week, the plan is to move into our new home this weekend. The contractor has been very accommodating and is placing more resource to complete the work in our new home.

Meanwhile, I am moving bits and pieces of furniture onto or holding area - the garage. Rented a trailer for $20 a day from a guy who runs equipment rental business off his home
