[QUOTE="Star*, post: 297084, member: 4964"] You asked: Can I make a wood floor look better without using a sanding machine? I answer: Yes - but carpet can get expensive. :raspberry-tounge: Then I thought - that's not nice - what if you're poor like me? Yes - Dollar Tree sells peel and stick tile ...:surprised1: (limping off to the corner...cause I bet you kicked my but) :winking: Can I ask WHY you can't use a sander 1st of all? Dust or expense or both? Then secondly.....Have you priced the cost of having a professional come in to do it? Reason I ask....is because it is probably a LOT cheaper than you think - AND as someone who has installed a lot of flooring - you probably CAN do the polyurethane yourself - but...by the time you strip, clean, wash, prep the floor you may come out cheaper in the long run to get some estimates (which are usually free) to have someone come in and do your floor for you. Then of course there is always the natural look...:whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
