  • We hired a floor sander rather than kneeling and sanding for years, surely it cannot be that difficult.

  • Famous last words ;) FWIW, did the upstairs of our 3 bed house and it took us a weekend to do the main bedroom and box room and my back was destroyed by the end. I don't think I've ever sweated as much.

    It takes hours and hours to get a good result as you need to be patient and to through all the different grits when you've done a good enough job on the previous one. Don't under estimate how long the prep can take.

    Also, hire sounds cheap initially but adds up really quickly with all the accessories and belts you'll need to buy. Ended up costing us £450 to do ourselves for a weekend.

    I'm happy that I've done it and know what it's like but wouldn't want to do it again. I'm personally going to be giving Zen a call for the living room downstairs.

    (Fuck that edge sander)

    Ours was definitely under £200 all in (varnish etc) for a sitting room and hall. Luckily it was all ground floor.
