1. An apparatus for processing a surface of an inhabitable structure, the apparatus comprising:

  • a laser base unit adapted to provide laser light to an interaction region, the laser light removing material from the structure, the laser base unit comprising a laser generator and a laser head coupled to the laser generator, the laser head adapted to remove the material from the interaction region, thereby providing reduced disruption to activities within the structure;

    an anchoring mechanism adapted to be releasably coupled to the structure and releasably coupled to the laser head; and

    a controller electrically coupled to the laser base unit, the controller adapted to transmit control signals to the laser base unit in response to user input.
