Hats off to you Esteema.

No way we will paint our own walls or ceilings. We will need to find a taller ladder to reach the top of our walls and ceiling.

Just told Dh we have to find time to clean our windows. All the algae and all on the outside of the pane and sill. Will be using pressure jet to wash those off.

I hv a 10-foot ladder in our condo, but had nvr used it to paint the high ceilings, only the walls. I get giddy when up there & feel insecure even with rubber base to anchor. After the tenant clear out, will get the contractors to do the entire revamp.

Now I use only the 6-foot ladder when I hv to get my winter stuff. It’s got this landing table for me to put my heavy stuff to transfer to ground.

I’ll nvr venture to use a pressure jet. What if instead of controlling its jet, it controls me? 😅

Don’t think the pressure wash that I have is that powerful to be able to slice thru toes. But like what doodbug says, very satisfying to see all the dirt and grime coming off.


Ha and Esteema reminded me, gotta put our winter wear back in the cupboards. Wanted to put them away but realised I ran out of vacuum bags and desiccant packs. I ordered more of both and they arrived early this week.

Ceiling is not easy. But you can de la, slowly lor. Careful of height. Dont overstretch yourself. I did that more than 10years ago and I will try not to do it again. Let it stay white, no color is ok.

i prefer to leave my ceiling white, easy to maintain n touch up with same white paint when needed.
my dh just painted a big wall and a small wall in living room and walk way to bedroom, i still feel it is not a easy task lei.
wipe, clean, soak clean . paint brush cleaning etc

I just did that! Not mine, but my daughter's as she got back from UK about 10 days ago. Currently, most of our winter wear (as much as will fit) is stored in a camphor wood-lined wooden chest in my bedroom, so I have to help fit everything in. We also store things in vacuum or ziploc bags first, then it's like a 3D jigsaw puzzle to fit as much in as possible.

When painting ceiling of bathroom, u’ve to ensure there are no seapage fr yr upstairs bathroom which shld hv screed & waterproofing done properly. I normally wash the surfaces & sealant applied before putting in coats. If there are mold, best treat that first before new paints shld even be put in.

Chief, pls do layers on different days to rest yr neck. If u can avoid, best let someone younger do it. Not worth straining yourself & let yr orthopedic doc dig into yr piggy bank. I only took on this round of painting coz it’s too small a job to find paid labour. I only did the walls & in stages, partly to rest well before next effort & for it to dry well before ano coat. Like MKS cautioned, “ Dont overstretch yourself.”

OMG... so many things like sealant and waterproofing :nailbite: I thought I only need to buy paint and brush :slapshead:
I'm thinking of getting a roller brush. Good idea?

I just bought a winter wear on promo. Buy now is cheaper than later when need to use.
