New Floors . . . . scratched!

The biggest deepest scratch (above)

The same scratch that was tried to be sanded out.

We've had new walnut floors installed in our home. We had new appliances installed over the weekend. We have new scratches on the floors from the install process. This necessitated the floors being sanded down and re-coated. Which required another *sigh* night in a hotel. (**I have a very interesting side story to that!!**) but I digress. We're hoping to get some $$ back from where we purchased our appliances to cover the cost of re-doing the floors. They still need (2) more coats of protection, hopefully (1) today and (1) tomorrow. Then I will be able to move stuff back and get my life back. This has been a long process.

**my side note. We stayed at a Hampton Inn last Friday night. (while the 1st coat was drying on our floors) This hotel is located in Sandy and has convenient freeway access. (not that you care) So, on Tuesday, when I try to get another room at same Hampton Inn, I wasn't able to get one on-line, so I called their front desk, I'm told there were no rooms available. I think to myself. . . .(self: why?) so I ask the gentleman "What's going on that you have no rooms?" and he states: "We are almost always full on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights." I was stunned. Imagine my surprise at looking for a room in all the other hotels in the same area. . . . . .........all full. I used to look at those Hotels and wonder how they stayed in business. I'm guessing that construction workers and Expo-Mart peeps are the ones staying there. Do any of you know? The long and short of it is we stayed at an La Quinta in Midvale (it was a bit scary!!) But we are alive and well, and I did a thorough search of the room for bed-bugs. (which brings to mind another story about us , Brad, Bev, and a can of raid at a Hampton Inn in Orlando, but that story is for another day! Ask me and I will tell it to you)
