Blasted the underside this morning; also hit the outside too. 3.5 hours, and approximately 200lbs of media. Big mess, but major cost savings doing it myself! Time to start constructing my paint booth.

A week or so ago,
 
Ghetto, but completely functional paint booth!

Under construction. Total cost: $90

Nice work Andrew!
 
Yup, got me a box fan and filter too. Biggest thing is keeping temps warm in booth for 24 hours while primer cures. I've got a few shop lights, a portable electric heater, and a kerosene heater.
 
I just hope you paint better than you power wash the side of your shed :-)

Thought about blasting over plastic sheeting so you can screen the media and reuse?

Looking good, man :thumbs-up:

At $7.99 for 50lbs, it's not worth my time to try and recover.
 
Perfect starter gun. Make sure you keep it clean and get an inline water seperater.
 
Can't paint in the rain...
 
Yup. Weather has been crappy. Too wet and humid to do any sandblasting and painting.

I am keeping myself busy. Got an Egg as an early Christmas present, and have been building a table for it.
