We put the hard in hardwood.

Sanding hardwood floors was not quite as easy as I thought it would be. I’d also like to mention that installing new flooring is actually easier than refinishing old flooring. Who would have thunk it? Apparently, when your floor is old, slightly warped, and covered in paint and residue a 36 grit sand paper simply won’t suffice on a first pass. The subsequent 40, 80, and 120 grit papers helped a little, but next time I’ll start with the coarser 20 grit for maximum wood removal. Lesson learned. Now to touch up a little with a handsander… :(
