You have a lot more patience than I do.
I would likely have rented a floor sander and wasted two or three sheets of sandpaper to just sand off the plastic and the glue. Then a fresh sheet of sandpaper for that nice looking wood.
I guess it all depends on how close you are to somewhere that rents that kind of stuff. If you are slightly North of the middle of nowhere ... you are most likely using the best possible method. :-)
Also, who is the person in the first picture that is wearing socks!!!! You must really hate that plastic floor. ;-)
There is no way you could have sanded throug that carpet, the glue and paint maybe but you’d waste a million sheets of sandpaper.
I had socks on because I just came from work but yes I prefer not to touch plastic floors. Sadly I can’t play ”the floor is lava” in the shower because all the floor is plastic 😭
Shite!!! 😱 I couldn't tell that was carpet. I thought it was linoleum. In that case, retract everything I said (except for the socks part). Nothing to see here. Your approach is perfect!!!
Did I mention that few things are more attractive than a competent, optimistic, ambitious, helpful partner!! 🤗. {who quickly forgives when strangers post uninformed, irrelevant comments?}
Haha no worries 😁 and he isn’t here judging everyones comments, he knows I can hold my own with all you nerds 😝
