Well, the floor guy is starting tomorrow. We've been slowly clearing out the second floor over the last week, all we had left to do today was clear out our bedroom. We also realized that we needed to paint the radiators in the back bedrooms, we wanted to get that done before the floors were refinished.The den radiator was a light green, it matched the wallpaper, of course. There is also evidence that the woodwork in this room was also painted light green at one time, but luckily they did a good job of removing the paint and it just has a nice natural finish now.
White radiator, much better. The floors in the room are in ok shape, it looks like there was a rug that had been glued down to the middle of the room at one time, you can see where it was attached to the floor.
The floors in the room are covered in the carpet pad and carpet pad glue. The floor guy is just going to sand it all off, and hopefully the floors underneath look ok.The floors in our bedroom have a lot of random paint splatters.I think they just never used a drop cloth when painting.

The house is going to look so nice with bright shiny floors!
We're hoping to buy a house really soon(!!), and the one we want has a fireplace. I was thinking about using that heat resistant paint you used for your radiators on the fireplace because some of the paint that's currently on it has bubbled. from the heat (I think the owners built too big of a fire!).
Wow there was some serious ugly going on before you guys got started! I can't wait to see the floors.
Oh, and have I mentioned that I am SO jealous of the radiators-- not painting them though! ;)
This is the 4th house we've looked at in person (aside from the billions online ;). I'm surprised we found one this quickly too.
We're planning on having the seller pay the closing costs too :)
