Well I am finally moved in, actually moved in last weekend. The floor looks great, the furniture is in it and the dog is getting used to surroundings. The floor stain took about 2 days to dry and it was still a little tacky in a couple place but I went ahead and polyurethaned it anyhow. I applied it with a lambs wool applicator and mopped it on. Everything went pretty smooth until the end when I encountered the tacky stain and it started moving the stain around a bit.
I let that dry for a day and then I sanded it down with 320 grit paper attached to a foam mop, then I used a terry cloth pad to wipe up the dust and swept it and then applied another layer of polyurethane. I let this one dry for a day and I was done. 3 days later I put the furnature on it and 5 days later moved in with the dog.
There is still a lot of things to be done with the house, mostly minor things but time consuming nevertheless.
I am banning myself from Home Depot and Lowes, I overspend for everything. Every time I walk into one of the stores, I buy about 10 other thing I didn't plan on buying. Or better yet, I buy about 10 things that I can't use because they don't fit so I end up returning everything.
Anyhow, here are some pictures...
