I've done hardwood refinishing for 25 yrs I will tell ya this. These guys do it the correct way taping up the doors plastic over cabinets another thing you must do during sanding is turn off your furnace you wanna keep air from circulating during sanding only. You must have a little air moving during the staining an coating to help with drying. Great job guys! I like using a Hummel but I've used the American or Clark they all work rather well. God bless yall!!

I used this video as a general guide for 500sq ft of 60 year old white oak, and they turned out nearly perfect, I love the Bona finish. I found a 3x21 hand belt sander followed by a 5" random orbital to be easier for the edges than the big edge sander. Fill in cracked wood and nail holes with filler but leave the gaps between boards as they are so your floors can shift with temp and humidity. Use Diablo sandpaper if you can find it, we only used 2-4 of each grit.

Best advice is sand **diagonally** (except where the grain is already diagonal such as herringbone), If you look very carefully there is a wave pattern when sanding parallel. The reason for thsi is a little complicated to explain but the channel @andAFloor has a good explanation.
