hey All so over the past few weeks i have been doing a lot of flooring work in my house. three bedrooms so far.i have been using the 3/4 inch Oak 4 inches thick and it looks great. I have one more bedroom to do an for this one I plan to go to the HD and buy the unfinished oak planks, 4 inches wide. the price is just very affordable for us. My question is, the floor is unfinished and looks to be sanded, Does it require more sanding prior to staning it? if i need to give it a second coat, do I sand again in between staining? and third, do i need to sand prior to putting the polyurethane? any ideal is helpful. I am familiar with installing prefinished oak, not unfinished. are there low odor stains and polyurethanes. ?

Took the day off today and started another bedroom on wood floors. Went to the HD after ripping up the carpet and clearing out the room and bought some bundles of unfinished oak floors. Did about 9 rows and decided to call it a day as my back was starting to bark not to mention my foot thats still hurting. Anyways, I added more pics of the new project.
Thanks all for all of your suggestions.
