I find myself crying (no flames please)

I just spent the last 4 hours with a belt sander sanding out the scratches in my new hardwood floors from my wife's toenails. By the looks of things, it's going to take me all weekend.

hey bud, they sell/rent/exists an upright which makes quick work of your situation, my previous house I did 600sqft in about an hour with one coat polyurethane.

edited to add: forgot, kleenex or monistat7 will help for the tears

I know she just had a baby, so have you thought about offering her a pedicure.

Replace it with a laminate floor.

I'm having a hard time picturing how the floor would get scratched by toe nails. Toe nails tend to be on top of toes, people tend to walk on bottoms of toes. Unless the dragging her around by the hair comment was accurate.

Please help me understand...

Was she chasing a cat or what? How did her toenails scratch it up that bad? Isn't a belt sander a bit much? Would a random orbital do the job?

Welcome to fatherhood, buddy. You're the man. Suck it up.

Since they're new, and you now have toe nail scratches, I'll have to assume you bought cheap hardwood. That you probably installed yourself. Purchasing a better quality flooring and having it installed properly would have prevented this. This is your fault entirely. Blaming this on your wife is just another way of casting blame on someone else.

I would suggest no more DIY projects for you.

Any wood that is easily scratched by toenails isn't particularly hard.

Have you ever considered belt sanding your ass?

I'm thinking they were christening the new hardwood floors from behind...don't know for sure, but that's the image that I'm going with.

Oh, and his wife looks like Jessica Alba, and he looks like me. Don't know if that's accurate or not, but that's the image I'm going with.

She's had some strange aversion to clipping her toenails ever since she was little. They have grown very long and have curled down over the ends of her toes. She's a bit heavy and but loves to chase our pug Steve around the house. I've tried to trim them while she was sleeping but she gets really mad.
