Afternoon all,
We have just moved into a beautiful 1980s barn conversion (built early 1800s) and moved in recently.
We love the property and will hopefully be here for a long time to come.
The whole house needs updating and we are (slowly) going to be updating/ redoing bits when we get the cash.
One of our main gripes is with the beams that are in the property, they are covered in some sort of horrible mahogany coating which will do for now but I want it gone ASAP. We really hate it!
We have searched online and found lots of different methods - dry ice blasting, sandblasting and chemicals but we don't want to damage the beams and all of the above have very, very cautious posts about them online.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
P.S want to add pictures but saying file too large, any advice here would also be appreciated!
