Sanding part 2 - the hard part
Now the fun of water blasting is over, Eb, myself and a young work experience lad have been on the disk sanders sanding the weatherboards on the house. We look and feel like powder puffs at the end of the day given all the dust we are kicking up.
It took a week or so (on and off), but we got there in the end. With three of us on the job, it went pretty quickly.
I can't wait to get a fresh coat of paint on it now. Though I had someone say that we should just lacker over it and leave it the way it is - I don't think I've become that hippy yet!
The next job is to go around with some sand paper and a couple of special scrapers to get the bits we couldn't do with the sander. Plus around the windows etc. More fun I'm sure.
