Choosing the Right Sandpaper Grit: My Furniture Flipping Secret

When I first started flipping furniture, I was overwhelmed by all the sandpaper options. Should I use 80, 120, or 220 grit? After a few trial-and-error projects (and some very sore arms!), I learned that starting with a coarser grit like 80 helps strip old paint or finish quickly. Then, moving to a medium grit like 120 smooths things out, and finishing with 220 grit gives that silky touch before painting or staining. Each step made a huge difference in the final look! If you’re just starting out, don’t skip the grit progression—it’s totally worth the extra effort. What’s your go-to sandpaper grit for furniture makeovers?

How I Finally Stopped Knee Pain Kneeling

I used to dread kneeling for chores or gardening—my knees would ache for hours after. Here’s what actually helped me fix it: 💡 Invest in knee pads or a thick kneeling mat. Game changer! I found a gardening mat at the hardware store and it’s cushy enough for any surface. ✅ Never kneel on bare knees. If I’m caught without pads, I use a towel or stick to carpet or grass. Hardwood is a no-go! 🔔 Keep knees happy with simple strengthening moves. Even a few squats or gentle stretches make a difference over time. ⚠️ If your knees still hurt, don’t tough it out—see a doc. Sometimes it’s more than just soreness. #KneeCare #DIYHacks #GardeningTips #Health #Wellness
