[Blindtlk] how about painting?

[Ericka]

This is why God invented duct tape. One piece will cover the entire switch pretty nicely no matter what size or how many switches. It's  pretty water resistant too.

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.

> 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..
