House saga part 4 or 5, or is it....6?

I've lost count....
but we're onto the hard wood floors now!
So the refrigerator now resides in the sun room
....see it back there behind the rest of the mess?
The rest of the house is packed into this POD on our driveway 
(oh, but whatever didn't fit in here in the garage)
Flooring was ripped up, where it was not good to refinish...
and replaced with new wood....Yeah!
 and places where the finish was worn & ugly like this....
were sanded & made to look nice again.
old finish is off....
new finish going on...
SO MUCH NICER NOW!

But even though we had a week in a hotel 
while the dust & fumes invaded the house...
we still aren't moved back in! 
(actually, WE ARE...but our furniture is NOT)

Next up...
corner rounds & touch up paint on the floor trim 
& then a new mantel installation
