    Great video. I love the fact that you guys refinished your flooring as a team. I've been doing flooring for over 21 years. I have also worked at home Depot at the tool technician in tool rental. I have taught mini dyers how to refinish their flooring after getting prices from contractors on refinishing their flooring. Only thing I did not see you guys do is keep the cord over your shoulder at all times. I noticed in the video that you will picking the cord up as you backed up it would have been easier if you kept cord over your shoulder. In my expert opinion both the team at home Depot And you guys rocked this project.

    Diagonal sanding is recommended, when floor planks are uneven.

    You’re so welcome!! Great questions! We have about 750 sq ft on our first floor and we spent a little less than two days sanding :) It probably could have even been faster if it weren’t for filming everything too!
