NO IT DOESNT MAGAJEFF69 FROM THAT ONE DIY FORUM WHY DID I LISTEN TO YOU?
Okay after that brief meltdown: it's still better than it was.

The chamfer is nice, and the surface is less tacky (sticky) than before, even if it's a bit fucked otherwise.

Also the fumes from the residual polyurethane are giving me brain damage, which is a plus.

This is a stupid idea. But let's entertain it momentarily: is there any place in the country that could realistically warrant a new city?
Criteria something like:
- not within or adjacent to an urban (say 50k+ centre)
- near existing infrastructure (highways, rail, the grid)
- not on a major fault line or flood plain
- better than average climate
- reasonably flat topography
- some vague economic base
