Making a decision and sticking with it

Today was challenging.  I'm sick! Boo Hoo Me.  I guess its my turn.  Unfortunately, you don't always get the luxury of lying in bed and getting better - so - into the house it was.

The day went like this:
Sanding, sanding sand sand sand - then scrape a bit. Sit back and have a cough.  Listen to RNZ and have a good laugh - then cough again.

Wash down walls and kitchen and every other dust ridden part of the house - dust was in every cupboard, every nook and every cranny.  We had an air gun on the compressor so that was quite fun to use and useful for the blinds.

Go out and find some stain to stain the floor.  Originally i wanted to stain the floors BLACK.  Im in love with black floors.  Then we sanded and it was such a lot of work.  People tell you (at Bunnings and Mitre 10) that colouring a timber floor is a sacrilege.  So we decided to just polyurethane.  But i didn't love that idea.  So today i compromised with a dark brown stain.  I got it on quickly so that no one could change their minds!

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!  Sanded with nothing on it, it was going to be way too much wood.  But this..... this is so good. Its sic! well. I'm sick.  Ive come home and pilled on clothing, had a hot drink and now i need to get in a hot bath.  I have to feel better tomorrow - its polyurethaning day!
