A rep from a 'basement finishing' company stopped by and introduced us to this concept - not sure where a Joe Sixpack can purchase this without going through his company.

Is it possible to plaster over and then repaint external pebbledash which covers a house (this is currently painted yellow)? Can a professsional look be achieved or will it always look bodged. Would a normal plasterer be able to do this or do I need a particular specialist? Any idea on cost?

As an alternative can the pebbledash be removed? Is this sandblasting or something else? I have heard that sand blasting is very expensive and can result in damaged bricks so perhaps not the best idea.

Thanks.

Hi I was just wondering which sandblasting gun they sell on eBay is good the ones that are gravity feed or the ones that you put the bottle on the bottom. I already have a 20 gallon air compressor that has 3hp and just wanted to buy a sandblasting gun. I will be using it to bead blast the tailpipes of my 74 vette I believe it is polished aluminum or chrome and they are very scratched up so I want to sand it down and bead blast it. thanks

Ok, I saw someone saying that Dewalt is the best. However I didn;t see alot of people backing up this claim. Now I DO know that Dewalt DOES make quality products for sure, but I was kinda wondering if they aren't just kinda riding their name a bit? While they still make good tool perhaps they aren't the GREAT tools they used to be? Bit I digress. Another brand that I thought was supposed to make really good tools is Bosch. But I haven't seen anyone mention them? Are THEY not what they used to be? Or was I mis-informed to begin with? My dad has always used Makita and lower end Dewalt. But he has never been one to "splurge" on getting the absolute BEST either. I havent bought ANY power tools before (never had a resason to in my young life). But I just got my first house and needs alot of work. I KNOW I will need some quality tools to help me through the process. Any advice that anyone can offer would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

It's terracotta tile, so it doesn't wipe off as well as glazed ceramic. Without ruining the tile, can I sand it down? It's just a few places, but it looks yucky.

My dad and I are building a prize wheel, and we have everything to build it. The only problem: what can we use as a pointer/needle? I am trying to have it a spring-loaded needle, but any material will do. Ideas? I am afraid to use rubber because of the friction. WILL a rubber pointer work?
