yummy

that's how i'd describe the newly-refinished hardwoods chez stone. delicious. we are so thrilled. with the floors. we are not thrilled (and by "we" i mean "me," because captain fantastic is all rainbows and sunshine about "adventures" like this) with how annoying it was to move EVERY. LAST. ITEM. out of the house and camp out at various in-laws' all weekend, then learn that the floors need 48 hours to properly cure so we couldn't move furniture back in until today, which would be monday, the crappiest day of the week. and it's raining. also, six cats-in-law (yes, six) + terrible allergies + varnish fumes make for a sleepless weekend. no rest for the weary though, as we'll be re-painting all the baseboards and at least two rooms before moving the furniture back. so i'll be "sleeping" here again tonight (and i use the term loosely):

BUT LOOK AT THOSE GORGEOUS FLOORS. totally worth it.
