Oak floors are finished and they are beautiful!!

Finally done with the upstairs flooring!  We rented a drum sander, an orbital floor sander and a rectangular vibrator/sander.  We must have sanded the floors 100 time!  We started with 36 grit, but the floors had been sanded before, so there was a lot of wood to remove to get it even, so we then used 24 grit.  Then worked our way to 60 grit, 80 grit and 100 grit, then used orbital floor sander and then screen on the vibrator/ sander.  We put down Bona sealer and then used a pad and vibrator/sander with  a pad to smooth it and then 2 coats of Bona satin finish.  We love it!! Now onto the kitchen cabinets!!
