Sandy place

The first stage of gate preparation was complete, and I just needed to wipe a few last bits down, before painting on some rust remover, to help minimise any rust coming through on the new paint work. We then got started on sanding the gate.

It’s a noisy, dusty job. The vibrations from the sanders makes the whole metal gate work like an enormous gong, so we tried not to take too long over it. With the two of us doing it though it was much faster, and we were soon seeing a difference.

The vibration of the sanders goes right through you, so regular breaks were key.
