While I should be practicing my new skill of inserting photos, I am instead going to blog about my tile floors.  I do have all the goat photos of Mary and Martha getting disbudded, but I just don't want to have to think that hard right now...lol.  My hubby is laughing at me having such difficulty over this, of course he works on computers for a living so it's all easy to him.

Ahem...I digress...Back to floors.  I am considering renting a big floor buffer thing for my house.  We live out in the country and have 1900 square feet of ceramic tile that LOVES mud and dirt.  At first it was so easy to sweep and clean.  I think it had a little bit of a finish from the factory that made it sweep so nicely.  However, 4 years later that bit of finish is gone and the tile seems to be more porous and it seems to attract dirt.  So I was thinking I might just rent the big buffer thing and wax the floors.  I think they will once again be easy to sweep and mop, but this would be a huge job.  (Bonus:  I can air out the sofas and chairs on the front porch and do and honest to goodness spring cleaning like in the Little House books and make some ginger tea to quench our thirsts.)  In addition, I would then have to strip the floors and redo it on a regular basis (I'm afraid I'm not sure I'd be so pleasant about the second spring cleaning, if say, I had to do it quarterly).  I'm just not sure I'm into that kind of commitment.  Has anyone waxed their floors? How daunting is this task?  How bad is it to strip the floors?  It sounds terrible.  How often do you have to strip and reapply the wax?  Would I have to stop the children from riding their bikes in the house???  Na, just kidding...I tell them daily to take those bikes back outside on the porch!  Is there any chance I'm up to the challenge of this task?  I don't know...but maybe Martha Stewart has something on her website about waxing floors...it seems like just the kind of thing she'd enjoy! 

Blessings,
Mrs. P
