Gettin' my grind on...

I have four more days of my commuting job to make it through, then essentially, two weeks off with a random of assortment of cleaning jobs, housekeeping tasks in the office, and just two days with patients until after the New Year.

Uncle Phil came to visit and took a look at the stalls we bought that need some refurbishing.  After learning I was sanding with a hand sander and various grits of paper, he recommended an angle grinder, so I didn't go nuts and spend a thousand hours on it.

So, using my tits new Amazon Prime account, I ordered this puppy:

Porter-Cable 7-amp. 4 1/4 inch Angle Grinder/Cut-off Tool

I also ordered 3 packages of extra grinding wheels, as Phil thought I would smoke through them pretty fast.

This fun thing should be here Tuesday, and I am psyched to get started on sanding the stalls. I think we are going to sand and refinish the bars, fronts, pretty much anything that is rough and could poke an eye out. Then, since the inner walls are metal, but in a bit of rough shape, smooth those down without spending forever on them, and then re-line with plywood. And of course, repaint and add new hardware like the door latches, blanket bar, halter hook, etc.

I will try and take lots of pictures, to see how well this actually works out, vs. what I am picturing in my mind's eye. But, they have to be better than this green hideousness...
