Not really. We were in the WW2 Barracks (like the FMJ pic below) and had to strip the wax off the floors, re-dye, wax, and buff them every night. To do that we had to move the bunks and wall lockers into the central part and do the bunk area first, wait for the dye to dry then paste wax them with Johnson's wax, let it dry, then buff. Then we moved the bunks and wall lockers back, placed them on wood blocks, and did the same to the central area. While waiting for the dye and wax to dry, we would hang out in the latrine. That gave us plenty of time to wash our fatigues and shower. Downside was that we got very little sleep. I would always volunteer for first or second Fire Guard shift because we were all still awake then.
I'm glad you were able to make it out to visit.
