Floors were sort of fixed, then I fixed the fixing. Used Bona Gap Master in the gaps between floorboards (in black). Primed with Zinsser BIN (~2.5L), tinted as dark a grey as possible (mid-grey) and then painted two coats of Little Greene floor paint in Lamp Black (~3L).

Next up is stenciling (can start Tuesday), followed by two or three coats of Bona Mega.

Three coats of Bona Mega, so they should be super protected, but we can do a top-up coat after gthe cupboards are in if we want. According to the technical data sheet, the floor should be 70% cured after one day, 90% after three days, and 100% cured in a week. That means that we can start doing things (installing stuff, using ladders, etc) in there Friday morning, and by Tuesday morning it'll be pretty much bulletproof. 🍻
