I have started working on the floors. We decided that it was a good idea to get a good couple of coats on the floor under the shower, so I went ahead and sanded the back side of the room (where the shower and toilet will sit).
The pictures do not really show a huge difference between the un-sanded floor (from in front of the cabinet to the left) and the sanded part (right of the cabinet), but IRL, there was some difference.
I did not get a picture of the floor after the first Gym-Seal application, but it is still a little visible in the last picture. I re-sanded and reapplied the Gym-Seal, but not completely to the edge. The edge is the first coat after a light sanding. The nice pretty shiny part is the second coat, still wet.
The floors are still a bit rough... good enough for under the shower and toilet to protect the floor, but I think we will get the sander with attitude (aka belt sander) to take the rest of the floor down little more. Not surprising since the wood has been there for at least 50 years and looks like it was probably reclaimed at that time.
