Started removing paint in the cellar as a lot of it's flaking off and lower down the walls either seems a little damp, of there's a lot of mineral build up.
Photo is first go yesterday. A fair bit has come off with a scraper today. But the upper sections are a bit more stubborn sections and there's some sort of cement skim(??) in places. It's all going to get painted, but I want to remove as much of the old paint and will repaint it all with some sort of 'breathable' paint as the cellar does get a little damp from time to time.
I've got a small angle grinder, would a wire brush cup work or is that asking for trouble? (and no, I don't know why the fluro yellow paint is there).
