As the Mail serialises his astonishingly frank autobiography, Rod Stewart confesses... Women threw themselves at me so much, I just got tired of sex. There was no affection â I wanted real love. Published: 19:44 EDT, 4 October 2012 | Updated: 07:22 EDT, 5 October 2012. Love life: Rod Stewart, pictured this year, admits there was a period in his life where it was a bit 'one in, one out'. If there are more entertaining ways to spend a Monday night than in Rod Stewartâs LA home (until you get booted out, on account of being a gooseberry) they have yet to be discovered.
Before moving into their home, Bradley says he and his wife hired Cronin Hardwood Floors in Little Ferry, New Jersey, to restore the hardwood floors. Carpet covered the floors for years, so they looked pretty sorry, Bradley says. It cost about $2,000 to sand, stain and finish roughly 1,000 square feet of hardwood. Bradley believes it was money well spent. âWe were most surprised by how much wear and tear was removed by the sanding process,â he says. ââ¦ Now these 60-year-old hardwoods look brand new.â
Note that darker stains can push the per-square-foot cost up a little. And some companies will charge a minimum of about $450, regardless of job size. For recoating: About $1 per square foot. Refinishing a vintage or high-end wood floor: About $5 per square foot. $2.50 to $5 per square foot. 2  Do-it-yourself: The cost for items needed for do-it-yourself refinishing, including a commercial sander, buffer, and finish solution, typically range from $150 to $500. 3  Timing: Hardwood floor refinishing can take two to four days, depending on the size of the room.
