I can't believe I watched all that garbage before getting to this excellent video. Way to go. I could see the holes from a tack strip. What should I do about those?

Hi Craig - thanks for writing! We recommend using a wood filler or wood putty in a color similar to the finished floor. It may be necessary to combine two colors to match the existing floor color. Test the color in a corner first. Use your finger to fill the hole, then a putty knife to scrape off the excess. Let dry then stand back to see if it blends with the floor before filling the rest of the tack strip holes.

Possibly the best instructional video I have EVER seen on YouTube !

Great video. The best I've found. We got a bid of $1900 to do less than 800 sq. ft. of oak in the home we just bought. We can't afford it. I hope that we can find someone who rents a sander like this one. I think it is much more user friendly for amateurs like us as compared to a drum sander which can bite into the floor if you don't keep it moving. Thanks!

Great video. I have a small room in my home, slightly bigger that the one in your video. The wood is in good condition with minimal scuffs and marks (Had carpet covering it for years). I was wondering what advice you could give me with regards to restoring it. I don't think I need to go as far as sanding it all down... or do I?

Thanks in advance.

Very helpful video. Thank you. But, at the beginning you said you were going to deal with squeaking and stains. You didn't address how to use the chemical stain removers. that would be helpful to see. thanks again.

Hi Bill. Question. Can I do the same procedure if I decide to stain my floor. Do I need besides the stain any other finish liquid. By the way your video is so much illustrative, enlighten. Thank you so much Bill.
