How can I refinish a wood floor on a budget?

I have a wood plank floor that be "finished" at one time --- 'bout 65 years ago.. Since then it have been covered near carpet and the finish is pretty much gone. There are no gaps/chips/rot... How can I revise these (with a light finish) on a budget? I reason I'd have to sand them weakly ---- thats all I know :-)


Answers:    travel to a hardware store and ask them about what you involve... will need to know how big of room consequently buy the stuff a little at a time til you own it all and yes you will hold to sand is best to rent a sander depending on how the finish looks now but its best anyways you own to break that seal to achieve the new to stick right.. can be done similar to over a couple weekends but dont start til you have it adjectives ready to be in motion it want hurt it to like sand one weekend and verbs up then refinish the subsequent will take a weekend to dry also so be prepared not to use that room

Call your local rental store and ask them more or less renting a sander, also ask them if they have a party on staff who is experienced at floor sanding. They will be capable of give you some guidance. You will probably needs to use 2 dif grades of sandpaper.
If your rental organization can't help you, phone up your local flooring store.
