Beauty and the Beast


Well you can see I have started sanding the floor. That is a genuine 1960’s Clark drum floor sander I affectionately call “The Beast”. Weighing in at 60+ pounds this bad boy will strip the paint from an aircraft carrier and dig a hole through flag stone, if, and this is important now, if you have the right sand paper. Load this bad boy with a 34 grit and it will sand the red out of the devil’s ass. Well the dark lord can relax because I don’t have the right sand paper. The coarsest I have is 80/100 grit. It loads up and plugs as old gooy finish softens from the friction of sanding. See those tan stripes on the sanding drum, that's the goo in the cracks sticking to the paper making it useless. This is right back where I started! That damn goo is why I went to the effort of striping the floor in the first place! What a tremendous waste of my time! Tomorrow I am going to see if I can buy the right F-ing paper and then crack goo YOUR ASS IS MINE! Lets rock little man.
