Best way to sand drywall around windows?
Hey All! We recently had all of our windows replaced. The window company did not repair the minor drywall cracks around the windows. We've applied joint compound where needed, but now I'm procrastinating on sanding! It's a relatively small area around each window, but it is nearly every single room in the house! When doing drywall repairs, I typically just use a hand sander, and that's been doable. But I am cringing at the thought of hand sanding in each room, and then cleaning up the big mess in every. single. room! Would an orbital sander hooked up to a shop vac be worth it? I have very young children in the house, which is why I would love to minimize the drywall dust to begin with. What are your recommendations? submitted by /u/StarCat450 [link] [comments]
