whats the best way of doing this?? masking tape along the edge? any
tips appreciated. i didnt give the skirting enough coats before the
carpet fitter was due and want to finish it off properly without
getting paint on the carpet. thanks

Thats typical of my BIL...slap the paint on while carpet is down, result
hairs and dust on it. :-)
