Before I started installing the baseboards and door jambs, I thought it made sense to shift focus to refinishing the fir floors first. I used a drum sander to take off all the old stain and smooth the wood down to a nice clean surface. The entry way area to this building was covered with tar paper previously, which was a lot of work to remove. I found the best method for doing so was to use a wallpaper steamer to loosen it up and in a couple passes I could scrape it down to the bare wood. To work around the perimeter of the room, I used a belt sander, which let me work right up against the wall. Once all the sanding prep was done, I applied the first coat of semigloss floor finish. It was a rough finish after the first coat, so I sanded it back down with a fine grit sand paper and then applied the second and third coats.
