More home improvement fun

Whee...more home improvement stuff...
Today's adventure (after sleeping in until noon today) was to seal the floor where I had torn up the carpet earlier this week, due to obnoxious cat mess. The score in the great battle between the carpet and the cats stands as follows:
cats 4
carpet 0
Bleah.
Let's move on to the pictures, shall we?



When working with nasty gawd-awful chemicals that can cause brain damage after inhalation, it's important to have the proper protection against fumes. Now, even tho I felt like this thing was suffocating me, I'm glad I had it. That sealant STANK.
Don't I look fetching in my little respirator mask? :)



The worst spot--we had to train the fan on the wood before sealing it. There were 3 other spots that needed help, but this one was, by far, the worst. This was after 1 coat of sealant.




Another spot, after a second coat of sealant.

Now, off to google flooring sites for a good deal on bamboo floors. :)
