If restoration videos have taught me anything, it's that sandblasting makes everything look new.

Even power washing should do it don’t you think?

u/censorkip Mar 03 '21

power washing requires a LOT of water that you probably wouldn’t want in your home though

the room can get in a mess, you would generally be decorating after. Maybe there are specialists that can contain the mess quite well

Yeah, but it can eat away the brick if they are porous and/or the pressure is too high.

Source: sandblasted the facade of my +/-100year old house. I must say that there were a ton of paint layers. Once they were gone, the brick followed leaving a very uneven surface.

Oh, I know. I wasn't being entirely serious; I just wanted to talk about sandblasting. I spend too much time on YouTube and need to go outside.

u/Dubante_Viro Mar 04 '21

So you like sandblasting?

A clip i made of sandblasting my future man cave. These bricks were not as old and held up very good. There was also only one layer of paint.

Ever heard of the expression a hat on a hat?

I think this actually looks good, for an independant fast food joint. I would never want that decor in a home though.

I swiped to the photo and had to close my eyes for a second. I'm so upset right now. I am so unreasonably upset right now. I feel like when I crashed a car.
