Overlap, if using a roller paint one vertical strip then move half the width
of the roller before painting the next strip.  Ceilings shouldn't be a
problem if a tennis ball is cut in half and a hole is punched in the center
of one of the halves.  The brush handle goes through the hole so the
bristles are coming out of the inside of the ball half.  The ball half
catches drips that don't end up on the floor.

have it all taped off, so the paint doesn?t get on the edges of the window
frame and door frame.  All the outlet covers and light switch plates are
removed.  The room is currently empty.  Next up is to peruse the basement
for something to be used as a drop cloth.  What I need is suggestions on the
actual painting.  Specifically, how do I get it covered evenly without
missing spots? And any tips on no streaks or lumps in the paint would be
very much appreciated!  I already have the paint, brushes, roller etc..
