Last week was Spring break at UND.  While many others were relaxing at home or on some sunny beach, there were some that aren’t that awesome and stayed back in Grand Forks.  I was one of them.

My Spring break was not a complete waste of time though.  I used this time to do some work around Beta.  Specifically, I concentrated on the Dining room floor, which was in desperate need of refinishing.  With the help of a couple of other Beta’s, we were easily able to accomplish our task.

Here are a couple of pictures of the floor before we started.  It’s pretty easy to tell where the most traffic is on the floor – right where everyone slides their chair.

The floor looks significantly better after it’s been sanded.

One coat of stain and three coats of polyurethane later and we have a finished product.

Since we were done with the floor earlier than expected, we decided to sand and repaint the radiator heater covers in the dining room.  Here are the covers sanded and primed.

Once dry, the heater covers are installed.  They look way better than before when they had been painted with a brush.

The dining room with all furniture returned.

You can view all of the pictures from the project on Beta’s website.
