 It would completely wear you out, at least it would me. So it's a beautiful finish, but I just don't think it's a good choice for the situation when you have pets, when you have people in the house that are going to be giving it a lot of wear and tear, dragging in the sand from the outside, the dirt, the mud, whatever. It's just not a good choice. So what I would do is I would lightly sand the floor, assuming it's not in bad condition. I would lightly sand it. There's a machine, a couple different machines that are like pad sanders that don't take off a lot of wood, but they take off the finish.
