[TR] sandblasting

[John Macartney]

I spent 10 days sandblasting the inside of an old farmhouse i bought in France in 1994. It was a lovely old place made of local stone and with massive timber beams in the ceilings of the ground floor rooms but it had had 150 years of bad ventilation and smoking fireplaces. It was BLACK everywhere! When I’d finished the house was transformed but sweeping out and vacuuming barrowloads of sand each day, no thanks.

Lord Uxbridge:  “By God, Sir - I’ve lost my leg”
Duke of Wellington: “By God, Sir - so you have!”
