are no walk in the park....I did it once. Of course I decided to do it AFTER we moved into the house, so I had to move a lot of stuff. I was going to try a drum sander but the guy at Home Depot talked me into using a random orbital sander. The potential for disaster is less, but it took FOREVER and was still messy. I swore that I'd hire someone for that if I ever had to do it again.

But I love the Habitat for Humanity idea; I take stuff there all the time and I've gotten some really good deals there (light fixtures, paint supplies). And Jimmy Carter volunteers with them
