second coat on my floor

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.04.27

I went back to do the second coat on the floor of my new place. It looks infinitely better than it did. I mean, really quite good. I'm pleased.

The second coat of Polyurothane took maybe half an hour. I highly recommend it to anyone with an old beaten up parquet 'hardwood' floor.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
