OK, thanks. I can do the belt sander (I used in on the floor and the 9.5' ceilings. So far the wall is all below 5', so I can manage this pretty easily (as much as any of this sort of crap is).

The good news is that this is all the idea of the missus, and she's seeing the trouble that it is. At least this isn't going to be my fault.
