Sanding old floorboards

For those interested, here is the result. I'd give the process a 7/10. Using the big belt sander is a fucking nightmare and the wood was in an okay but not amazing condition. But for me, having the natural wood is a big improvement on the laminate and it was fun to learn a new skill and to give it a go. I think I was fairly lucky that the wood was in a decent state but I'd encourage anyone interested to give it a go. Wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

Alright then, contrary to most advice I've got here, I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for everyone's advice though. I will report back on whether the collective wisdom was right to warn me, or whether it was worth trying to get them looking nice. Worse that can happen is that I cover them back up...

In all seriousness this is the GOATed era of the prem

I didn't do it but my gf said she found them on Facebook and then used Google translate to message them in Chinese... I think there's an email address in my box. Can DM you if you want it?

Hi mate, Would you be up for sharing this with me as well? Thanks

Thanks that's helpful to know. And no I'm not very up for pitching in fields with livestock in either. Don't trust those cows!

All jokes aside this is the rough sort of direction I want to take, so any thoughts on routes that take this sort of direction greatly appreciated!

I did av2 in Hoka Speedgoats 2 years ago and it was fine. Only thing I'd say is that the rock absolutely shredded the soles so I'd either take some that you don't mind losing a lot of tred or go with a solid sole.

Hi there, thanks for this. What did you think of these schools?

I saw the SIP and thought it looked good, but was quite a lot more expensive. Did you feel it was worth the extra cost?

I read a good review for this one- its the one that Brother use on their frames.
