I just know somebody from an initials-only organization is going to come a
disappear me for revealing these gems. But a Popular Mechanics article
promotes the following:

* Sanding
* Tinted primer
* Press blue tape with putty knife
* Use paint extender/conditioner
* Scrape a ridge in a textured ceiling
* Use canvas drop cloths [better if it has a plastic backing]
* Do one wall at a time
* Scrape (don't tape) windows
* Box paint
* Wash roller covers before use
* Degrease walls before painting*
* Load the brush
* Push paint

--------
* Oil and (latex) paint don't mix. You can use fact this to your advantage
by spraying your hands with PAM before painting. After painting, a squirt of
PAM in the paint can will put a thin layer of "oil" atop the remaining paint
thereby preventing skin formation.

* Use canvas drop cloths [better if it has a plastic backing]

Last time I used canvas I had to clean paint off the hardwood floor under
the drop cloth, the paint went right through the canvas.

I paint two walls at once with a roller in each hand. It's twice as
fast and good for developing your split vision. Sometimes I rig up a
hard hat with another roller so I can do the ceiling at the same time.

And what's this about a "drop cloth"? Painting the floor at the same

Now you tell me, where were you when I was up on that ladder?

Next question, if the plastic layer is what stops paint from reaching the
floor, why bother with canvas at all?

Depends on the canvas. I have a bunch of canvas drop cloths that don't leak
at all (not even a gallon of spilled B-I-N), then I bought one that might just
as well have been an old bed sheet.

Bah, kid stuff. I pour paint into my pressure washer and stand on a
mechanic's creeper and have my wife give me a good spin, the whole room is
done in about a minute.

But we have hardwood floors, so I spray them with Pam and when the paint is
dry I peel it up off the floor in one big sheet. If I can figure a way to
glue those sheets to the outside of the house....

'cuz plastic is slippery to walk on, especially if you step in a paint
drip, which instantly transfers to your shoe. REAL canvas dropcloths,
the heavy suckers with a real tight weave, work pretty well. The cheap
thin crap from HF doesn't. Most painters I have seen recently used that
tacky thin plastic stuff over carpet/hardwood and such, and spread a
small tarp, or use a 4x6 piece of cardboard they carry with them as they
move around the room. A few real experienced painters I have seen use no
tarps at all for trim work, and barely mask. The tarps only come out for
roller work.

I hate painting, because I suck at it, but just like drywall mudding,
the pros make it look SO easy. I suck at drywall mudding, too.

I have no problem tracking paint from stepping in drops on canvas, it
doesn't seem to absorb fast enough to prevent that. But I leave my shoes
(actually slip-on water mocs) in the room being painted if I need to leave
in order to avoid being burned by the laser beams from SWMBO's eyes.

Recently I had to have an MRI. Of the three (female) technicians in the MRI
room, one said I'd have to lower my pants (I guess the zipper might
influence the machine) and offered a modesty sheet.

I demurred, noting I was sure the three ladies had seen a male in his shorts
before.

After the scan, as I was pulling up my pants, I remarked: "I certainly got a
different reaction from you girls than I usually get when I drop-trou at the
bus stop."

Shock. Giggles. Offers to meet after work.

Anyway, it makes sense, if you are going to DROP CLOTHES (particularily at a
bus stop), to use cheap ones as you suggest - you may have to leave without
them.

But I've managed to paint quite a few rooms in both residential and

painter and a mere homeowner is the pro can do the job much faster. So it
takes me longer to paint a couple of rooms, big deal, it stills looks fine

Yep. Me too. I've recently taken to highlighting the freshly painted area
with a double, high-intensity, quartz/halogen work light. It shows the
subtle areas not quite covered with paint, such as on the other side of a
teeny texture bump.

It's a sense of personal satisfaction, although one for which I'll never get

perfectly.

5 gallon bucket instead of a pan...

seems reasonable. I don't think it will change my painting life

I can see some flaws in the ceiling, but I'm not telling :-/

Because if you do, *YOU* will be repainting them. ;-)

Heh, when I complain about flaws in my home painting jobs my wife insists
nobody but me can see them. Of course that might be because she's my wife,
but still.

I never complain about the painting in our house. My wife and her
friend painted the entire inside.

You just have to know when to stand up and when to shut up.

Look.... I meant NO disrespect to anyone.

I was just voicing my opinion, as most of you guys do here. There was no
need for the rash of bull-**** comments.

Yes I am a home owner, no, I am not Mr. Know-It-All...Maybe I should
have explained more of myself... I just got tired of all the bad
comments some of you posted...Again no disrespect...But some of you give
poor advice and make bad comments. But I do understand the human need to
want to help out...Ergo my poorly worded post...

I meant no harm...Yes I did have some spelling errors.. I'm 73 give me
some slack...I was just trying to join in the fun.

Maybe my words don't come out so good in text form. Sorry. But feel free
to jump all over me for speaking. I'm a big boy.

Using a pan for painting walls and ceilings is indeed a mistake. Use a
five gallon bucket. You won't step in it...you won't knock it over.You
can keep at least 2 gals. of material in it and keep your roller sleeve
fully loadedmost HO's always run the roller dry...Yes it does take a
little practice...but once you get the hang of it, you'll never use a
pan again. Try it.

Also there are screens you can use in the bucket if you need to...Some
pro's find no need for them...it slows down the job when production is
called for...

Mia Culpa.. is it spelled right?

Close. It's MEA CULPA.

Ego te absolvo.
