Tub refinishing

Here are the pics of the tub, before and after. The cost for the refinishing was $399. This worked out to be comparable or less than replacing the cast iron tub - including demo and installation. Plus the tub would have had to have been broken into pieces to get it down the stairs.
I also did not want to replace the tub with an acrylic one, since this one was in good condition other than the finish.

Too hot!!

Today I was stripping the floors, had to keep the windows open for ventilation - but, it was 95 degrees out!
Supposed to be the same tomorrow, so instead of doing the floors - I am going to work on the kitchen countertop tile, so that I can close up the house and run the a/c.

Got the tub refinished today. Amazing how they can make a yucky tan tub shiny and new (and white!). The bathroom is really looking nice. I will have a pic up of the tub once the protective material is taken off the wall tomorrow.
Tub guy loved the floors - he couldn't believe how good the citrus biodegradable stripper worked. I might not even need to sand in the living room, the floors are in very good condition.
