My buddy and I spent the better part of a weekend tediously removing tack strips and hundreds of staples. From there, I rented a floor sander and used 5 levels of grit. The coarsest grit took several passes to get all the tar off the floor, then I did two passes with the rest of the grit. The edges were difficult to get and are not perfect.I then cleaned the floor with mineral spirits and a lambskin cloth, followed by three layers of semi-gloss polyurethane. The project took about 20 hours total. I’m happy with the results, even though they’re not perfect, and I learned a lot along the way. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/3qRpPTF
