Decent float would be a good start.

Before 1920 it’s likely to be a lime job. Get down to your local fruit and veg shop.

I'd have thought a dessert spoon would be spot on for working on you.

Tyson is a fat git
You’ll need a bit of scaffolding too and a ladder
Wheel barrow and a hod
Small float best for newbie

Seeing as it's you, it'll be a pneumatic drill to start the job.

Or a sledgehammer.

 

[Fatarm]

Best thing you could get for this project would be a big bag of knowledge...and a tub of experience..
Harder to find than a bag of multi these days tho

Is this where the saying 'a sledgehammer to crack a nut' comes from Steve?
