I've got several floors with pine boarding, probably Victorian. They've
collected all sorts of stains and paint over the years, and we want to
sand them flat(ter), and to an even colour. This will obviously be a
belt sander job. Trouble is I don't want to do them all at once, which
would push me towards renting a floor sander. Will an ordinary sized
one do a reasonable job, and if so which?
