OLDYELLOW Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 how did you get the old paint of the loft back to wood flat bed sander or a belt sander it's on the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yorkshire terrier 77 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 correct oldyellow a belt sander it was , and i went threw a whole heap of belts lol and it took me some time to do !!! as most of the boards were not flat , had it going for three days solid and i was green by the end of it!!! had to get a burner and scraper out to do all the bits in the corners . got some boards to go round the top they will be black and some cream and black around the windows were the new poly carb is going.and my traps will be the same. oh and the two little pigeons that i took off will be going back on.

Guest yorkshire terrier 77 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 hi and thanks ricky mate , yeah i am a new flyer ,well i will be next year when the young bird races start like so i have a bit to wait :( but all good things. weather permiting i will get the painting finished this week and other stuff done ,still loads to do but it has 4 residents testing it out for size. it least there is always something to do when keeping the race birds becous i think the wait would do me in ha ha, i must admit it will be good to see it full of life with a team of birds like.
