Flooring: Day... um... 4

I've been studiously avoiding posting progress photos of the flooring because, well, I didn't take any. The last couple of days have looked pretty similar to the first except with gradually increasing floor area covered and decreasing piles of material and junk. So I thought I'd wait until it was all down.

So Day 2, Der Floormeister completed the laying of boards in the kitchen, and sheeted the hall. And put the doors back on.

Day 3, he floored the hall, fixed a minor problem with the hatch (the leading edge was standing a bit proud), and implemented the chosen hatch fixing method (secret screwing).

Today was sanding, and the first coat of sealer. Being a water based sealer the first coat inevitably raises the grain in the North American White Oak boards, so the final effect will be much smoother than this, but here's how it looked at the end of Day 4.
