Sand The Floor

No, this doesn't concern karate lessons. As any new-homeowner may feel, my floors are awful looking. Aside from patching wood in to match the current wood in this home, all of the floors must be refinished. 

The floor in the living room. 

No water is on the floor, this is simply how damaged the floors are in here. They rent machines that sand floors very quickly, but it is possible to sand the floor yourself. As this process hasn't yet been completed (or started for that matter) there are no after pictures. Bit by bit the floors will come together... I think.
