Lol, yes mo.
Why no squeegee? When I cleaned my garage floor to paint, I used squeegee.

The squeegee has a use. Moving bulk waste to a point where you can suck it away. But when you are trying to get all the fouled water off the surface it seems to spread some of it out in a thin enough layer that it quickly dries and you have to wet it and scrub it away. The wet vac does a better job of removing the water and particulates.

Added a video this morning. Not sure I would do this again. It’s been tough.

Y'all are amazing -- I probably would have been installing hardwood over the top and getting served with divorce papers by that point!
Floors look 1000% better once you fill up a room with furniture, area rugs, etc and start adding some daily wear and tear to the floor. A few months later, the issues you sweated over will fade into memory.

Thanks. It was a chore. Last night we finished the second coat of sealer on the guest side, the main room, and the master bedroom. I went in this morning and did the first coat on the last 4 rooms and hallway on the master side.
I’ll give y’all a sneak peak. This is the master bedroom. She had me grind away and re-stain a lot in that room.

Any plan to deal with the cracks? I really like the concepts, but not the cracks.

Thanks. We finished
today. It was hot as hades. Not Texas Hot, I’m sure, but today has been nasty humid with zero air movement. I’m sitting on the porch “rehydrating”. Gonna give the sealant a few days to harden and next weekend, going to apply polish and get back into the the plumbing.

Cement cracks. Thats why they put saw cuts in it to try to control the cracks. (Control where they happen). We knew it would crack so we planned on just making it part of the look. They are not wide. We could use an epoxy that Sika makes but we aren’t bothered by them.

I think they add to the natural patina.

You guys have really busted yourselves in getting this done !! All that matters is you both are happy with your results !! When do you plan to go outside and finish putting the siding, window trim and batten boards up and everything painted ? Cold weather will be here before you realize it.

That was a lot of work. I was wondering about rain getting in behind the siding, but didn’t want to say anything. Lol. He’s been busier than a one armed floor strainer and sealer. (Who hangs paper these days?)

On the side wall I put up the z-channel above the siding to divert the water over it. I need to do that in the courtyard. Today we are putting polish on the floor. Hoping for 3-4 coats. Got 1 down right now. Tomorrow will be dedicated to pex plumbing. I am sure I will find out that I haven
’t planned for everything, like I think I have.

Here’s something to give you guys a laugh. I had my well drilled about 3 years ago. I need tonlook at the paperwork when I get home. I believe it was about 230 feet before hitting water. I the cap today to see what kind of adapter was needed to wire up the well pump and connect the line.
Uhh. Apparently that was not included. The pipe is empty. I don’t have a line or pump or anything.
I feel a little silly.
I could have sworn the guy who drilled it mentioned running a temporary electric line to it if I wanted. I guess he meant putting in the pump also.
