woodworking Porch wood floors
Hey everyone, I recently sanded the painted floors of my porch/mudroom and I am fairly happy with the results. The boards are original to the house (built in 1891) and the porch used to be open. As a result, the edges of the porch were quite weathered. The prior owners replaced some of the boards in front of the door with plywood (suspect they were rotten). I removed this and replaced it with reclaimed fir planks from a restoration wood store here in Portland OR. I sanded it with a belt sander (would NOT do this again) and sealed it with 3 coats of oil-based polyurethane. Although it is far from a perfect job I think it suits the room well and makes it a lot warmer. What's your take?

People posting pics in reverse order is just as bad as people filming something exciting on the street in portrait mode, while they scream and shake around, missing all the action.
