Initially I loved my wooden floor. It was hard work sanding it and I
put four coats of varnish on. A few years on it looks a mess. Despite
felting every chair and table leg the floor is scratched badly in that
area. Maybe I should have sat the table and chairs on a rug.
Where the computer chair sits it is even worse. My dogs ruined the
finish with their claws and the kids had a disco on it and 'someone'
had stilettos on.
So I need to re-sand and revarnish.
With just the two of you your floor will be ok but for the heavy
traffic of my home I find it hard work.
