Welcome to Gotshoo?, proudly serving the inter-tubes since 2000. Gotshoo? is the personal of Chris Scheufele, that's me. I live in Springfield, Illinois with my wife and two dogs, Buddy and Clancy. I work during the day as an IT consultant and play at night with a freelance company called After Hours Development, and put together cool projects like Spfldbloggers.com


When I am not tinkering with computers and code, I am taking pictures trying to keep up with my daily photo, or riding my bike, or playing with the dogs.

Floor update.

I took the afternoon off today to sand the floor.

Picture doesn’t do the floor justice, but it looks good.

I am using a U-Sander, a four disc non-directional sander. Rented it from True Value. Non-directional means that I don’t have to worry about staying with the grain. Because I had stripped so much off with the adhesive remover, I started out with 60 grit paper then moved up to 80, 100, and finally 120.

The floor is very smooth and slippery. If all goes well tomorrow night, I am going to try to get the first coat of polyurethane down. I am going for a recommended three coats.

Finally making some progress.

    Looking good.
    Got two tips
    #1– work your way out of the room when putting the poly down
    #2– make sure you block the room entry so the ‘little ones’ don’t make their way in and ruin the work.

    I’m gonna come in and start filming episodes of “This Old House.” Grow a beard though so we can at least attempt to pass you off as Bob Villa.

    Meg, glad to hear that you are still alive. My parents think my brother has disowned them or you’ve done their dirty work for them.

    Well, where are the pictures?
