Morning everyone.
Hope your day has started out better than mine. LOL!
GRR...my son woke me up in the middle of a good dream (twice in 15 min.) so that I could make a call to the cshier because he'd be alone & he wanted to go to the store to buy breakfast snacks - donuts, poptarts, basically sweets! Really? I told him I was sleeping & we could go after I woke up & I'd take him since we live on a very busy street, but he didn't want to wait & kept bugging me & shoving the phone into my hand.
I've never seen him move so quick...I bolted outta bed. "Fine! "Are you happy?" I'm F-ing up!" "GO...get the F out of the house NOW!" I really need to buy some sheets of drywall or a punching bag, because I don't have any of my old cars that I used to take my aggressions out on. Ugh... pre-teens & puberty!
Thanks for letting me vent & sorry about the potty mouth.

Then I will lay the new flooring in the other half of the room. It will be raw white oak.
Lastly I will rent the vibrating sander to finish sanding the old and new flooring at the same time.
The thing with the mastic is that it melts like crayon from the heat of sanding. So I learned that if I feathered the lever to just lightly cut into the mastic, the drums don't get as hot and the mastic is cut instead of melted. Plus short one step strokes letting the drum cool on the backstroke. That goes against all the "tips" the rental guy gave me. I'm sure he has never actually done this.

That's pretty cool that you live where the cashier would even care what a youngster bought. He could probably buy Smirnoffs down here.

I'm pretty impressed with how nice the wood looks. Considering it had vinyl tile stuck to it, and carpet tack strips driven into it. I helped my dad sand the floors in our house back sometime in the 60's. The finishes today are so much better!
Why anyone would have covered this flooring with vinyl is beyond me.

Yes, it was easy to use. It's an 8" wide drum, so it will dig a groove if you let it, but keep it moving and it is very controllable.
Thanks. He didn't like the noise and vibration, but also doesn't like to be stuck in another room. So his was a conundrum.
