Another Home improvement question (hardwood floors)

Unfortunately, using filler is your only real solution. It comes in different colors to match your current floor, or the desired wood look. Since you are going to stain it obviously match that color. I don’t think you want to stain it too dark, all the one’s that I’ve seen with dark stain always don’t turn out as appealing to the eye. Here is a nice tutorial on how to refinish floors: http://www.maro.net/index.php?itemid=114

I will be doing this as soon as it gets a little warmer Chris. If you want to stop over and take a look, I already finished the downstairs of my house this summer and it turned out well. BTW-don’t use a belt sander if the wood isn’t super bad, it takes off way too much.

sounds good val! I was going to use a palm sander for the edges, drum for the main part of the floors. I have to do the steps too, and the treads are a little rougher, so I think I’m going to hit them with a medium grit belt on my belt sander, and just go cautiously.
