      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?

            You may check whether any neighborhood hardware shops accepting CDC Vouchers so that you can spend your vouchers on purchasing Brushes and Paints.

                  we just buy those thicker coat of paint (dulux) should have a good coverage,
                  for diy painting room , living walls, we never use sealant , i think too much work to do.

                      Latest edition is 2021. I read the older edition borrowed from NLB; not sure if they have this latest one too.
                      https://www.amazon.sg/Nudge-Final-Richard-H-Thaler-dp-014313700X/dp/014313700X/ref=dp_ob_image_bk
                      Yes NLB has the latest edition in ebook version. I’ve just finished reading it on my Kobo & returned it so the next person on the waiting list can have it :boogie:

                        I have heard (no actual personal experience) that it takes some practice to manage a roller smoothly. Maybe you can look up some Youtube videos to get advice?
