Last week I sanded floors, week before put up shelves, this week I'm mostly ply-lining the kitchen.
I now have a house covered in brick dust, a wide collection of tools, a tool box, a pair of 'work' jeans, an industrial tape measure, a work bench, blisters, splinters, bad back, a taste for too much tea and tabloids and I've developed a builders crack.
God I'm fucking knackered.

Almost there... After Jan I'm knocking it on the head.
Needs some more plastering, and kitchen tilling... plus a new bathroom but apart from that it's done!!!

i have to say though, floor sanding is the hardest work I have ever done, and believe me I've earned my cash over the years, fuck me it was back breaking!

don't pay them any mind, soda. slaves to the nicotine, they are. they don't mean any of it.
i, however, respond to withdrawl in a totally different way.

ps, sanding a floor IS a fucking bastard job Soda, you are correct - mad props to ya, DIY maketh a man.
Did you have to knock out any walls? I had to knock down an outside supporting wall on my parents old house once.
Probably including sex, I don't think I have ever had as much fun...

good work, nothing like hard-earned production

Surely there's like big fucking electric sanding machines these days? In fact, I've seen them. Thats not hard at all. What were you doing - using sandpaper an a brick?
- kelpie0
real man = sandpaper and a brick.
face it, no other way really counts.

kelpie, I've not had to do any demolition but would love to have a go.. I did however take out six bricks by accident when removing some old shelves in my flat...
that was a lovely sight to see when all the dust and smoke cleared...
