Its proving a monumental task, esp. the sanding

Mt orbital sander tears the masking tape and its prone to grind the ends
off the sheet of abrasive if it gets too close to a wall.

I bought a 'palm' sander from Wickes for £15 his morning,. It lasted 20
mins before the sanding pad fell off and the Velcro underneath got
buggered. I took it back and got a refund.


The job is as you can see here..

Any advice welcomed.



What is the British obsession with brown wood on the inside of the
house ?.

Just overboard with fireproof plaster and have it skimmed. Use the
void between the beams to hide downlighters and wiring.


Is the 80s making a comeback? Yay!
