    Preparing for new paint

    Ok, I am almost ready to start stripping off old nasty paint and stains and I was wondering how, exactly, I should do this. I was going to pick up an orbital sander to start with and begin with that, then down to maybe 220 and 440 grit. Wet, I believe would be best. Then I think addressing...
