Anyone tried Lining a ceiling on they're own?

First piece i put up, one side would come down whilst trying to flatten
tother side...bugger,hmmph,barsteward.

Cup O tea me thinks...Hah! yes where's the drawing pins.

Pin the middle and the end of one side till you have managed to flatten
and
smooth other side then pin it,then do other side.

My Dad taught me to snap a chalk line on the ceiling, make a "T" piece
on the end of a pole, cut a full length of paper, paste it, lay it on
the "T" piece concertina fashion and just walk the plank applying the
paper, brushing it flat as ye go. then back the other way with the
edge roller.

But all that takes so much trouble ... Can't be bothered doing all that
...

Well, you and I might but it sounds far more demanding than it is, dunnit?

So true! I wouldn't dream of doing it these days. If you don't like
the look of the ceiling, don't look up, is my attitude.

Once done it's done. It's not picked at by grandchildren or drawn on by
other grandchildren. It can be painted.

Or it can be ignored.

We did ours many years ago, end of story.

Some people's ceiling story is a serial.
