Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

That appears to be a pad sander , a random orbit disc would be about ten x faster . Look for a six in disc ,not five inch , you get thirty percent more area

He’s got a few of those. I’ll try that next time I’m there.
 
Bit of a ***** to both click and lock but it's going ok. Dricore subfloor is pretty good. Doesn't squeak or bounce. Got a few ideas for transitions but I'm going to have to fab a few things up from scrap hardwood and my router.

Somehow I ended up with about 50 velcro backed 5 inch pads of the right grit but no sander. I did have a speed controlled 8 inch sander with a velcro plate. I overlapped about five small disks onto it and sanded the hardwood floors in a couple of bedrooms.

Sort of a home made flap disk.

The fixed speed is the key.
 
I knew sanding sucked…but I didn’t know it sucked so bad. Helping dad out on his deck…

Looks like a few boards are installed crown down. Be a good time to flip them. Makes deck less slippery when wet, increases lifespan of boards, and keeps the butt joints smoother.
 
Need to take up 3 rows of the floor and reset them. One plank didn’t lock properly on a long edge and I can see that edge lifting and it’s bugging me. This is the lock system where you tap the short end to lock it in place. When you try to disassemble this joint it often breaks. I have spare planks but I’d rather not use them if I don’t have to. Anyone got any tips!
