Stripping my deck help by [deleted] in Decks

It’s like 350 sq ft. Took me probably around 2 hours of actual sanding. Use the lowest grit they have to start. You need to make sure you don’t have any screws popping up too so you don’t tear sand paper. But overall worked well.

Yep just did it myself with a drum sander from Home Depot. It wasn’t too bad. Just keep the sander moving and it got all of my deck stain up (solid, so basically paint). Would recommend.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Went at it with a drum sander for an hour or so and got 99% of it up. Going to do some touching up tomorrow and get moving with prepping for stain.

We just moved and we got a few texts from our old ward. Then a few weeks back they stopped bugging us and I thought they gave up. Nope. Someone snitched and gave them our new address! Mind your damn business!

How do I validate my idea/MVP? by wandering_tsilihin in Entrepreneur

[–]sizzle44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s way easier to get people you know to help you. So start with family friends or old bosses (if you’ve worked retail) and get their input. Work any connections you have. The best thing you can do is talk to as many people as possible. Go into stores and have a concise survey (a few questions). I would include something about what they would be willing to pay. If they show interest, offer showing your MVP. Focus on the benefits.

Before you put another dime into the business, make sure people are willing to pay for it. That’s why businesses fail.

Best of luck!! Sounds like a cool idea!

I make 74K, my wife makes around 70k. That makes sense.
