[Blindtlk] how about painting?

[Julie J.]

I'll tape over the actual switch.  Other than that, you'd really have to be 
heavy with the paint to get it back into the electrical area.  I suppose you 
could if you tried hard enough, but under any sort of normal use, it should 
be fine.  Honestly I'm not worried about this aspect of the job at all.  My 
uncertainty is with getting the paint even and covering the old paint.

I meant, how would you keep the paint from getting inside where the switch 
cover was?

No, the switch is still there.  The plate just covers up where it attaches 
to the wood framework in the wall.  There are no electrical pieces flapping 
about in the breeze.

This may be real stupid, and I know you have thought this, but, without 
light switch covers, an all, won't you get shocked?

While we are on the topic of home maintenance...I need to paint a room.  I 
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..

Thanks in advance!
