[Blindtlk] how about painting?

[Ericka]

The tennis ball ideas awesome! I was going to mention how you described using the roller. They are wonderful creations and many of them have the ability to be different lengths.

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.

>> 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..
