Line 1: Line 1:
I estimate we've worked on about 1/15th of the total surface, which should take 12 person hours, and $100 in consumable materials.
I estimate to do the entire floor would take 180 person/hours and cost no more than $2000.  ($1,800 in materials and $200 in rentals)
Lessons learned:
* we applied putty at least 2x as much as needed.  Should have mopped clean later
* rotary sander is a difficult beast, should have stuck with the drum sander
* these shop vacs suck balls.  The rental one was the best.
