    No idea what that is in English- and can't seem to find a piccie on Google. It's something which apparently oscillates and gets into all the crevices. No good for wood though.
    Might nip over to the 'tool yard' and act a dumb blonde

    Looks like it's back to the original idea of lightly sanding the flat edges of the joists and using a varnish remover for the tooled edges so there's less gunk dropping on my head!

    It's not as if it's going to take as long as the Sistine Chapel...although goodness knows how Michelangelo managed to paint upside down!!!!
    It happens that today's survey was of a house where the owners told us that they had sandblasted the historic joists to remove paint. There was no ceiling to that room at the time, and the floorboards above were not tight fitting. It made "an awful mess" of the rooms above............
