    I've been undecided if it's a pass or not.

    I thought i was being too fussy but you can certainly see the marks while standing and today i had a chance to sit down in the lounge room. The marks are very eye-catching in the morning sun.

    I noticed these marks and questioned the floor sander about them on attempt 1 (as per the original thread middle photo), he said that i wouldn't be able to see them when it's all finished.

    oh well.. such is life.

    P.S. - thanks to everyone who was following the thread, your contributions are appreciated.

    Hi dude, i know how you must feel, it is disapointing to look across your floor and feel second best, If you have the time and the patience to go one step further. Get a other floorsander in to give you a report, Get a pro that has been around for a while and works for himself and not subbies out his work. Then go to the department of fair traiding and ask the question if you are able to get a refund from the original guy. If they say yes then pursue it further. With your report in hand demand a refund and if nesserry advise him you will take legal action and all legal costs will be claimed as well. You may need to get two reports. Have your solicitor draw up a letter of demand and serve it apon him. Your solicitor will take about 2 days to do this. Then set a date for the small claims court and go for it. You have already given him the oppertunity to rectify the work , but has not completed it satisfactory. You have the reports to confirm this. If you have the money are then able to get someone else to resand and do a proper job, then do so while you are waiting for the court case to happen. This is the last step bro, those marks never go away.

    Doing all of this may be painfull and inconvienent, but it is better to get it done now and out of the way. Soon you will be able to enjoy your floor and all of it will just then become a conversation topic.
