I've sanded the entire floor with 36 grit and now we want to paint and finish the trim then I'll finish the floor with water based polyurethane.

My question is what is best to cover the floor during the month or so that we are painting and doing the trim work?

I've heard rosin paper - any ideas?

Cover wood floors with rosin paper. Overlap the rosin-paper strips and secure seams and edges with masking tape.

Masking tape isn't going to be a durable as some 200 mph tape (duct tape) :)
