I'm gonna be ripping up the carpet in my hallway this weekend. Been sharpening my crowbar all week.
Is it necessary to rent a big drum sander or can I get away with just using a handheld orbital sander?
I'm not looking for perfection, just need to get it in good enough nick to live with until we do it properly.
The boards look good but just have some old paint crusts in some spots.
You'll be there all week with an orbital. Hire every time, I have sanded a room the size of a ballroom in a day. Pro tip: never let it stand still for a millisecond at the end of each run or it'll dig a trench.
