[Christie Dudley]

I don't know.  When I still had my house I redid the floors and it
looked gorgeous afterward.  It was really cheap to do, too.  I got
this putty stuff that I used to fill in the gaps on the floor.  I then
sanded it down with a floor sander I rented for a weekend, then I
finished it with a nice polyurethane floor finish.  I think the whole
job cost about $100 and took me, working entirely alone less than a
week (while I was going to school full time).  I'm suspecting the
floor of this new space will be more than that, but not as much as you
might think.  I would think we could get by for under $500 all told,
even counting what we'd need to spend on the replacement planks for
the space in front of the east bathroom.  It's all surface stuff from
what I could tell.
