So at HD yesterday morning we realized the 7.5″ grinder and several masonry blades could get the floors where we want them. The hardest part of the process was removing the left over material from the linoleum. After spending all day on our knees, we finished the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and the hall.
I managed to slice into my knee with about a one foot square of floor left, so Greg had to finish. I’m fine and there wasn’t much carnage, but the cut being on my knee is a problem for walking and bending. Lesson learned.

Today the electricians finished moving lightswitches and wiring the new cable, while Greg sheetrocked the rest of the closet and made all the small patches throughout the house.

More pictures soon!

Well the grinder/sander we rented was no match for the floors. It’s off to Home depot for another solution.
Probably will end up painting the floors white once we get them to a surface texture we like.
Trial and errors.
