I know this is a little DIY for this forum, but maybe you can help.
I am pulling up my carpet of 30 years in my home (it is disgusting and old)... there are nice wood floors under there. Home depot told me to rent a large orbital sander for the main part of the room and then an edger for the corners and such..
What I dont understand is, should i do it in phases of sanding, such as a more course grit paper to a more fine grit over a few phases of sanding?
Do you guys have recommendations on what grit to use?
If there are gaps between the boards do i fill them in with wood filler?
How tough is it to get under baseboard heating with an edger?
Thanks in advance
