first time painting 16' ceiling
 

Hi there.. I was just offered a job to paint a 16' ceiling. It will be my
first time painting a ceiling of that height and also my first working on
scaffolding.. So my question is, do I cut the entire ceiling twice and
then use my extension or do I use the scaffolding through the whole
process?

Thanks

Why are you asking? I assume to prevent bordering??? Whatever you
choose, be sure to feather it in towards the room. Helps minimize
bordering.

Just an FYI and for your consideration as another option, I did a
cathedral ceiling with 14' peak using a tall stepladder and a Wagner
power roller. Worked out great. I have no scaffolding. Outlay to rent vs
buying a tall stepladder wasn't cost effective considering I now still
have a tall stepladder when done. Really handy for me personally. At the
time a year ago the power roller was $69 plus a rebate. Borg seems to
cycle the various rebates on Wagner products. They have various levels
of power rollers. Would not advise if using oil base. Cleaning would
suck. With latex, there's a water hose attachment to flush/backflush.

Many people say the Wagner products suck but that hasn't been my
experience with the power roller or the paint sprayer I used for the
outside. But I tend to be an oddball. I read the directions, generally
follow them and take the time to clean tools well.

It's spam, Red. The fake OP thanks you for reposting the SUCKO company
link yet again. If we'd all tell them to **** off, they likely will. As
long as a significant portion of you buy into the ruse, the problem will
grow.
