Dave,
I know all that; but what I don't understand is why are you balancing on a stick? Surely, a ladder is easier.

If you use one of those bendy sticks the circus people use you could just sway back & forth with a roller in your hand!

Re: Thought for Today
X2, a small fire does a great job of messing up the ceiling and walls, then insurance pays for the repaint. I don't advise using the big fire method like catching the oil in the wok on fire while talking on the phone and burning the cupboards, rangehood, wrecking the ceiling fans and near tearing a lung out coughing from the smoke, but it did result in new ceiling fans, a full repaint of the kitchen/dining/lounge room as it was U shaped and trapped the smoke in that area yet out of the hall and bedrooms, a new rangehood, kitchen cupboards, and even a new wok, fire blanket and fire extinguisher

X3 It looks like the consensus is to pay someone else to do it!

Re: Thought for Today
Why not just buy pre-painted ceilings? They have them in the paint shop. Next to the special paint section; gap filling paint and non-gap filling paint for window frames.
Re: Thought for Today
Dave did you take your "stick" to Tassie ?
If it was wood that's a no no .
We being me painted all the ceilings on the farm with a stick and roller .
Carol supervised

Oh, I get it now.
Carol uses the stick ("supervision", eh Bernie.) and Bernie uses the roller. Dave same for you?
