I'd never have a go at anyone for wanting to get someone in to do it. But it is something you can do yourself, if you want. The industrial sanders you hire are essentially like using a 40kg+ vacuum or lawnmower that wants to run away from you. Stopping it from running away, or letting it do so more slowly than it wants (you don't want to stay in one place) is what makes it work.
If you're not on the ground floor, it's a pain in the dick to get upstairs single handed. Though not impossible. I did the 2nd floor bedroom floor.

This is great, thank you, albeit seemingly against the previous lufguss wisdom of "get Zen in"... i guess we could do the small spare room ourselves and see how much we hated the experience...
