I did the wood floors of my first house with my friend. It was a 1932 home with original oak floors. We rented the stand up belt sander like in the pic above and a edger sander. We rented both. My buddy used the stand up and I used the edger which is low to the ground so you have crouch down when you use it. Well of course the entire house needs the edger because the stand up belt sander can't get along the walls. We did it over a weekend. On Monday I went into work and could barely walk, seriously it was comical. My hammies were absolutely toast. I couldn't get out of a chair and I couldn't walk down the hallway!

There is a technique to applying the urethane. I messed that part up because we put it on with a roller. Well that left air bubbles. I think you need to mop it on brush it on. Investigate that part to make sure you do it right.

My house was only 1700 square feet. With the whole house completely empty it took two 10 hour days for us to do it and we were in our early 20's.

Good luck.
