It seemed like a Good Idea. The small bedroom is the only one with a stippled artex ceiling and it's a particulary annoying finish. Sort of like melting wax which has dried in a myriad tiny sharp points. A test stab with the scraper proved they'd come off dead easy so I togged up ready, old boiler suit, cap, mask, gloves, sander. Just about to start when the wife brought in a pair or safety goggles and an old pair of glasses. So, as you do, sander and new, shiny, "designer" framed spec's on the floor while I put the things on. Step forward to pick up sander and off to see which high street opticians do the the best deal today. Flattest pair of spec's frames I've ever seen.
