I continued sanding for a while and several diesel trucks went past our house, and I thought to myself, wow, those trucks really stink.
A few minutes later, I discovered that it wasn't the trucks that were smelling bad. Turns out, it was my sander.
Then it started to sound funny. After about a minute, it just locked up. Then the smoke really started rolling out of the vents on the sander.
Yup, I blew it up. (figuratively speaking).
Well, that required another trip to the Home Depot for this.
By the time we got back, it was dark and the time to work was over. Bummer, I really had planned to finish sanding the roof today, if the sander had held up.
I only have a touch over 6 feet to sand, that is about 4 feet wide, so it should be easy to finish tomorrow.
Sander cost me $47.67. Adding that to our prior total of $10,529.79, and we have a new total of 10,577.46.
So much for today's work.
