[Build] floor work tomorrow

[jim]

   let us know more specifically, please: 
what grit will you start with? will you use a 
smaller grit before beginning to fill? what 
will you use for filling? will you put a 
"primer" coat on after filling? will you 
follow up with a third, even smaller grit. 
will you put on any final coats? 

   proposal is drum sander: 36 grit, 50 grit, 
edgers: 36, 50 grit, 
broad knives: unknown filler, 
rollers and brushes: shellac, 
orbital sanders: 80 grit, 
edgers: 80 grit, 
rollers adn brushes: unknown top coat. 

   scott has suggested starting the process 
by setting nails then use drum sanders and 
36 grit without cleaning the cracks: the 
drum sanding with 36 grit will grind down 
pretty much anything that's in the cracks 
and also loosen everything in the cracks 
for easier subsequent clean out. so have a 
team of crack cleaners with scrapers and 
putty knives follow the first pass of drum 
sanders, then vacuum and magnet then drum 
sand with 50 grit....
