In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Beneath Your Feet.”
The photo prompt near had me floored,
But then imagination soared,
For which I need to offer thanks
To newly sealed and sanded planks
In bedroom, where they’ve been restored.

Can you come and do ours now? Wonderful job.

All it takes is to hire a heavy-duty sander, clean up, and then diligently apply the sealer coats. Essential to leave the floor completely to its own devices while that dries properly.

Looks stunning, Mister N.
I see what you mean about nicking your Sole line. No wonder you tackled me on it.
But I promise I didn’t come fishing for inspiration over at your spot.

At least neither of us sank to the depths of talking about a cat singing for a fishfood supper – ‘O sole meow’.

On a scale of 1-10 that almost-sole-iloquy would get the average person battered.

May I also offer congrats on your achievement, as much as the visual aesthetics as on the practicals. Can’t say now that you’re not level-headed!

A really clever offer—ring
I’d say it went with a good ‘ping’
A floor so clear and free from dust
Solitude really is a must

A paradox, though, we have here –
To get the floor of dust so clear,
The sanding made more than enough
Of very fine wood-dust-like stuff!

Very nice!

Great progress on the restoration. Your louvred windows reminded me of our home beside the Indian Ocean – hard to believe it was more than twenty years ago.

Wow – twenty years with an entirely different (but lovely) scene.
btw – the louvres are an optical illusion created by burglar bars. The windows are normal aluminium-framed ones.

I liked louvres from the ventilation point of view, but they were terribly vulnerable to burglars of evil intent.

Burglars do applaud the consideration of those who fit them, indeed!

Here, where we have no need of such ventilation, there are no burglars either!

Ironic. But you are lucky. They are nasty pests and hard to eradicate.
