*For those who ask "Why not just rent a sandblaster?", an interesting
tale therein: I did call my favorite rental place (Cresco), who told
me that not only do they not rent sandblasters, but that nobody else
does either. Asked why, they said that it's because of liability
issues; apparently, someone renting one damaged nearby parked cars
one too many times.

Why would the rental company be responsible for the damage? After all,
doesn't the same risk apply to any tool that is rented? A jack hammer
throwing a chip of rock or concrete, a de-thatching machine hurling a
hunk-O-stone, a 30 foot ladder falling. It seems to me that the person
causing the damage would be the responsible party.
