POWER! (scraper...)

177



A lot of what I do with houses is undo what others have done before me; like stripping a floor or tearing out a wall.

Today I used a "power scraper." Yes, it is as awesome as it sounds.

It is pushed like a lawnmower.  It is super heavy and it has a very sharp blade that sits against the surface and whatever you are wanting to scrape off a floor.  In our case, vinyl tile glued to a concrete floor.  The machine vibrates that blade side to side and it obliterates everything in its path.

Where there was no adhesive, it goes through like butter.  Where there was a lot of adhesive, it takes longer/

No life lesson. Just a cool power tool.
