I found something I dislike more than the designated hitter. If you’re on the team and on the field you should hit.
Sanding floors.
The words sends chills up my spine.
Sanding floors.
Spent the entire weekend (except for that little break I got to go preach) working on the floors in just half the house. I was actually tempted to preach a long sermon because it would delay going to work on the floors.
Sanding floors.
Another benefit of do it yourself home improvement is you discover areas of giftedness and areas of severe trial.

You should have seen the look on her face when I told Beth that sanding floors was not my gift and could I do something more in line with my giftedness.
It’s a good thing she doesn’t write a blog . . .

You didn’t rent the big 300 lb. upright sander? You passed up a chance to use large machinery?I used one of those sanders once. Bought the large sheets of sandpaper and everything. Then I asked “How does the sandpaper stay in place”? By the sheer weight of the machine I found out. Worked good.
These days I’m loving the look of cement floors. Stain. Seal. Polish. Walk away and forget about it. Live. Love. Life.
I got lucky when I told my wife lawn edging was not my gift. I only have to botch the job once. Now we have a gardner.

Are you kidding? Of course I rented heavy machinery! I didn’t even think about botching the first room. Brilliant!

My grandmother (with whom I lived 10th grade through college) had hardwood floors and every few years she had them sanded and refinished. One year I told her I would do it for her … save her that money. I was a fool! And I never offered to do that job again.

Sanding floors is my gift. Really. It is hard work but have found that since it doesn’t take a lot of brain power, I’m quite good at it. And I did it all with two handheld sanders.
Don’t laugh. I actually have a sermon written which is called something like: “What refinishing floors and the walk with Christ have in common.”

Anything with “floors” makes my knees start to hurt.

I have no giftedness in any area related to home improvement. Our gate hasn’t shut right for about two years. To my way of thinking, that means it’s time to move.
