My house was also built in 1952. My floors look Identical to your before photos less the glue. Now I'm seriously considering doing this renovation myself!

Had a company give me and my wife a quote of 4, 5000 and change to do our downstairs and upstairs hallway and bedrooms.Much like yourself we live in a older historic home and we have plenty of work the home needs so to save money so it can be put towards other projects were thinking of just doing a screen and recoat ourselves.Great how to video and your floors turned out really nice also.

One reason hardwood floors were covered up with carpet was due to maintenance. Poly coats (or other clear coasts) were not used, and I remember my mother stripping and WAXING the floors weekly or bi-weekly. A lot of work. Vacuuming was easier.

Man this is a great video. Packed with awesome info. This is the best step by step vid I’ve found on YouTube for this type of project

Best video I've seen! I really like how you provided the visual with the red and green for the directions to sand.

Good tip on turning off the air. Not only for the floor but for your air system itself. I work commercial construction and did a job where they sanded floors like this and they didn’t turn off the system and it clogged with sawdust and ruined the systems in there

Great job and tips. Going to do a couple rooms after having much of the house professionally done a year ago. Worst part by Far was the smell and if course it was hot and humid out so windows shut. Hotel for 4 days.
I'm going to buff a small area and see how a 100 grit looks.
