Haha, Aacute&ine,..she sure can, ya know! She's already done one kitchen floor for me in WY. Oh, and whadayamean when he gets louder?! We've already noticed the echo!!

Bobert, if we do any sanding it will very light. This floor has been covered up for a loooong time. Luckily, I still have the super-dooper Electrolux floor-buffer we bought years ago. It's going to do a nice job once we've sanded a bit.

We have been looking at the DYI, thanks, all.
