When we put down oak floors in our house, we had varnish on them at first, but a few years later we stripped them and put on an oil finish. It's SO much better and so much easier to live with.

Good job!) I am so sorry about the sink. Once my husband dropped our $1000 flush-up toilet (although I guess the one part wasn't worth all that) and to this day, it is glued together at the base. (And went on to last up to 15 years). But I can see your sink is a total loss. So is life, sadly!
