House: Wood-floor project planner

I wish we would've come across this a week ago.

Then again, I probably should've looked for it. In any event, here's a nice interactive tool from Minwax — the Project Planner.

It walks you through the products they recommend for a wood-floor project.

This would've helped a few days ago, because we accidentally applied polycrylic as the first coat of finish instead of polyurethane. Turns out, polycrylic is better for furniture and cabinetry, not wood that endures heavy use like floors.

No worries.

The next three coats will be the right stuff — water-based polyurethane. We applied the first coat last night.

With just two more coats to go, the floors already look nice!
