Is this thing on?

I highly recommend Sean O'Sullivan at Old Oak Flooring, 646-662-5724. They refinished my floors and the results are just gorgeous.

I found his name on this site and used him to refinish the floor in my Park Slope coop earlier this month. I can't recommend him highly enough.

My existing floors are "utility grade" oak which use planks of uneven color and have plenty of knots and dings. Because of time pressure, we decided not to lay down new boards, just sand and refinish the existing floor with a light stain to pull together the color.

His team sanded three times and used some kind of round buffing machine before applying a coat of stain and two coats of polyurethane. The results are simply gorgeous. The floors just glow. We have rounded moldings where the walls meet the floor and they got way up under the edge. There was a little dust on the shelves and in the hallway in front of our door afterwards, but not much at all considering how much work they did.

Hey all, thanks for the feedback. Some of the archive views do have a lot of points, so may take a little time to load. Where lots and lots of little points are close to each other on the map we've grouped them together into bigger points to help speed up the loading time.

Otherwise, if you're having trouble with specific pages, please let us know! Post the URL and your browser version here and we'll take a look.

I see your comments. Trying it out myself. Seems to be faster, too.

Ok, actually, not so fast, and once I posted, I didn't see my message until I refreshed. Hope this is just connected to the start up and not a bug. Otherwise people won't know their posts are completed and we'll have even more double posting than before.

I'm not complaining, I know the hazards of starting up a new system (and I am not one of those people who think Brownstoner must serve me everything I want on a silver platter). Just pointing out a potential bug Mr. B might want to check into.

@slopefarm, we're working on this now. There will be a slight lag before comments appear while we're rebuilding the site. Please be patient!
