I guess in 20-30 years everyone will make fun of all the brushed nickel finish used today.

Ok finally I can do this post I wanted to tackle it before but i ran into some issues with getting the floor together.Ok so you have a floor that is relatively in good condition but there are a couple of boards that are damaged beyond repairWhat could cause such a thing.heavy machinery being dragged across the floor. fire damage.water damage. chemical spillIf you don't have the time or the money to redo the entire floor but it is just a few boards that are out of whack there is a way to tackle this job without a lot of effort and time. you dont have to do the whole floor. most people will tell you it is impossible to match stain and this is true it is really really difficult but there is a trick that you can do. it is called monochromatic color effect ( i just made that name up but it works )you will need a fine cutting tool like a multi-maxa brush or a rag and three or four colors of stainyou will use the multi-max tool to cut along the seams where the boards meet each othercut down into the seam cutting loose the tongue of the adjacent boardstake your time. if you are cutting a length of board and stopping before the board is finished. then make sure you stagger your lines so that you get the staggered look floors are meant to have.you will need to find wood that is of the same size..

Cold calling professionals like an attorney or CPA can be insulting, assuming they are not busy, walking in asking them for time like some tooth brush salesman.

We have sprayed( primed) cabinets before using a paint sprayer, not the can spray..I have also had to touch up with a brush/roller afterwards

I saw an ad for something called gutter brush, that inserts into your gutter and is allegedly alot cheaper than the gutter helmet products.

(Wear gloves) Apply liberally to the floor and scrub with a hard bristle brush.

Do you buy the Mr Clean to clean the place, do you pay for the paint brush, gas/oil for mowings and maintenace on equipment?

Just saying invest in commercial is painting with a very broad brush. 

Usually you can brush one off, several buyers suggest a trend.
