Flood Update: Part 16

~Tuesday (March 1)~

Mr. A arrives at 2:35 p.m. to check on the floors. He says they still need to be fixed but he thinks they look better than the last time he came. I’m not so sure about that. He says the paint company thinks the temperature could have affected the polyurethane, so he brought a new can of polyurethane to try. He sanded a small section lightly, cleaned it with mineral spirits, and spread new polyurethane on it. He was waiting around for it to dry, but then he had to leave for an appointment.

Before he left, Mom talked with him about our options if this doesn’t work. We NEED to know, in order to plan the next few weeks of our lives. I think we all understand that if this patch job doesn’t work, the floor NEEDS to be redone. But I don’t think he’s excited about that. I’m just resigned to the fact that we’ll have to leave again, and that someday our floors will be normal!

~Wednesday (March 2)~

Daddy fills the holes in the dining room chair rail with wood putty and moves the furniture back. We can finally start putting the room “back together” (even though it is going to be taken apart again in a few weeks.)

~Thursday (March 3)~

Mommy and us kids work all day on cleaning the house and putting things back in order for Bia (my Spanish Grandma) and Bio’s (my Grandpa) arrival tomorrow. Somehow, we’ll get it ready in time! I hope they take their time tomorrow! J
