Phase 1 complete

For the past three days three men have been spending quality time in my new house - to refinish the floors.  Very soon after I decided to purchase my house, I decided that I would refinish the floors before I moved a single personal belonging.  I scheduled the floor crew to arrive the morning after the closing and they arrived right on time at 7am.  Each day after work I opened the basement door to sneak a peak at the progress.  Today, I arrived as the crew was placing the last coat of polyurethane on the floor.  I was amazed at how beautiful the floors looked!  Now that phase 1 is complete I am gearing up for phase 2 (and phases 3,4,5, etc) - painting.

The floors moments after the last coat of polyurethane was applied.  I can't wait to see them in full daylight.
