She's gonna watch Bud do it.LOL

 

Good idea.

 

Wait till that sander hits a few dozen of the nails that have been pounded into those floors since 1976!!!!

 

if ya go to home depot -they have a flat sander vibratory type slow but ya can't screw up too bad!just have to use a palm sander for the edges-and a buffer with fibre discs help-after the heavy sanding-as i say i have done it before-it ain't a lot of fun!!

 

a professional should pull or countersink all of them-they will destroy paper and the drum on his machine-

 

I saw them in Lowe's the other day too.....At least I saw a sander for rent...looked like a huge belt sander....

 

Those machines will wear a body out quick. I helped a friend of mine do his floors and I was beat for a week.

 

they should have a flat one-vibrates-pad about ? 12 x18 or so? have used them before-works okay if the floor is not too rough and wood is not too uneven-if it is really uneven ya need the real deal call someone and get the pro job

 

big drum on the front and it rocks to sand? yeah they will wear ya out and can damage a floor if ya don't do it right!

 

Tell me about it. I hated that thing.

 

No need to even talk about it...I dang sure ain't doin' it!!!

 

the pros use one with a drum but it raises and lowers with a lever-still hard on ya if you ain't used to it-and hang on when ya drop the drum-seen a guy go right through a wall with one-his feet slipped and it drug him right into and through the wall-would have been funny but I had to fix the wall ??

 

but honey do??????

 

Good for you Bud. Sounds like a lot of work.

 

Paul...it's called "mirapex".
