Floor refinishing
Article Abstract:
Refinishing wood floors is an ambitious do-it-yourself project, but sanding equipment can be rented. This includes a walk-behind machine and and edging sander for open area floors. It is important to check the thickness of the floor. Trisodium phosphate can remove waxes or oils. Fine sanding is needed before using a polishing machine and applying the finish.

Graceful gate
Article Abstract:
Making a gate for various entrances is a relatively easy and inexpensive project. Posts are set in concrete before fluted siding and trim is added. The gate is then tacked together and the top of the pickets are cut for visual appeal. The gate must then be hung.

Refinishing wood floors
Article Abstract:
The Squar-Buff 600 floor sanding machine is less likely than a drum sander or a rotary sander to damage a wood floor while sanding it. However, the machine is slow and cannot be used on shellac. The Squar-Buff 600 can be rented for about $40 a day.
