Busy, busy

It's been busy, busy around here lately. We're moving into our new condo at the end of this month and there seems to be a million things to do. But I found out yesterday when I was given a welcome package from the condo that there is a library! How cool is that? I haven't checked it out yet but it seems to be a place you can donate your old, unwanted books to and people who live in the building can "check" them out, read and return them. The best part may be I now have a convenient place to donate my old books to without lugging them across town on the subway.

In other, non-book related news, tomorrow we are sanding the floors so if anyone has ever sanded floors before I'd love some tips.

Are you using a belt sander?

Hmmm, it is some giant sander thing rented from Home Depot. I think I've heard the term "drum sander" mentioned by the menfolk. I know very little about tool things. Then there is a smaller handheld sander for the corners of the room. Varnish is still to be decided upon. Any recommendations?

Actually the man about the house rented a vibrational sander (I'm pretty sure it's not as sexy as it sounds). He's sanding today. I just went over for a brief inspection and things are looking good. We should be able to start varnishing over the weekend.
