This week Mark finished laying the wooden floor in our bedroom and the
walk in wardrobe. He has also done the inital sanding to remove the old
floor polish and get the floor ready for puttying.
Floor sanding is very dusty as you can see in the image below. That pile
of sanding dust gets generated in less than 10 minutes. I filled our
wheelie bin halfway with all the sanding dust.

Mark couldn't find a face mask to protect his lungs. A dish cloth did
the trick just as well though... :-)

The first picture below is the floor after being laid but before
sanding. The second picture shows the floor sanded back and the natural
colours of the wood. Just gorgeous.
