Saturday Photohunt - Colorful

Photo Hunt

Theme: Dirty
Dirty machine

Comment: This weeks theme is Dirty. I thought I would show the machine that made my house not only dirty, but filthy for months. We are still finding sawdust in some nooks and crannies and we did this about a year ago. The story is that I wanted to put in some wooden floors but when we removed the carpets, there was already real parquet flooring underneath. So instead of putting fresh down I called in some guys to renovate it. It cost me 12,000 to renovate but if I put down new parquet floors it would have cost in excess of 100,000. Unfortunately renovation involved sanding the floors with a drum sander (the machine in the picture) and this proved very messy, and dirty. :-)

    Looks like a dirty job but beautiful floors after they were restored.

    It’s hard living in a space where renovation is going on. Am glad you saved a ton of money too. That gets expensive. Have a good week.

    Having the floors sanded down definitely leaves a lot of dirt behind but I bet it looks lovely now :)
