    I'm trying to get our hardwood floors refinished but for whatever fucking reason getting someone to show up and give me quotes is like pulling fucking teeth.  It shouldn't be this hard to spend money.

      It always seems to happen when you want something done you can't give your money away nor will people show up if you try to give them extra money

        I'll take any extra money you have laying around...

        Hardwood floors should be a DIY. You'll save a lot of money and learn a new trade. That's why I put my own tile floor in my basement. OK, it was a PITA, but I learned a trade and also learned why I don't do that trade for a living...

          I refinished about 700 square feet of oak flooring in our old house, it was a lot of work but it turned out good.  The orbital sanders are too slow so just giver with a drum sander.

            Some people just don't have time to do everything themselves even though it means saving money.

              I've got no issue diy'ing stuff but our hardwoods are 100+ years old so i'd like to not fuck them up.  That and my August/September is packed between work and 4 weddings.  One guy did get back text me after I sent him pictures.  $3 per sq ft to refinish the floor and it's about 500sq/ft.

                That's actually not a bad price.

                                  Good catch, I looked at the shredding action and not at the remainder of the car lol.  They called it a 91 so my mind did not even consider someone to be subpar at identifying something so obvious.  Fake news...

                                    yeah, they said 1991 so thats fair game for either

                                    That makes me wonder. Did Canadia get the US E36 M3 or the Euro E36 M3?

                                      I think 1994 in Canada was euro spec s50 but only 50 or so, read that along the journey years ago. Rest was the same junk as the us
